Byung-Hwa Choi, a Western-style painter who has captured various aspects of bowls on canvas for a long time, is holding her 19th solo exhibition, ‘Moon’, at the exhibition room of the Ulju Culture and Arts Center until the 30th.
In this exhibition, the artist projects the image of the moon onto the bowl series, which he has been consistently showing, and presents works. It always looks the same, but the shape of the bowl is projected onto the image of the moon holding its place in a different form.
The artist believes that embrace and hope dwell in the traditional emotion of the moon, and that this emotion can also be read in the object, the bowl. In this exhibition, we present about 30 works that convey our traditional emotions in a bowl. You can see a variety of bowls in pictures, such as blue patterns that make you feel cold, irregular bowl heels, and traces of kilns.
Writer Choi Byung-hwa said, “The moon always looks the same and seems to be in the same place, but it looks different every day. You can feel the same sentiment in the bowl, which is an object called a bowl. I hope it will be an opportunity to feel traditional emotions such as inclusion and hope through the bowl painting.”
Byunghwa Choi is active as a member of the Korean Art Association and the Middle School. She has experience as a judge in a number of competitions, including the Korea Art Competition, Ulsan Art Competition, and Jeongsu Art Competition. Inquiry 980·2270.
