From the museum: The special exhibition "Korea in Color: A Legacy of Auspicious Images" sheds light on the use of color in Korean painting—known as polychrome painting (chaesaekhwa)—and its role in Korean art and culture. Polychrome painting flourished during the Joseon Dynasty (1392–1910) and the colorful artworks created during this era, featuring symbolic images from sacred to secular, permeated all sectors of society. Highlighting contemporary works of art in dialogue with select masterpieces from the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the fifty works presented throughout these galleries highlight the continued influence of color and the legacy of auspicious images, long overshadowed by painting created in black ink, and span a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, prints, video, and multi-media installations. Korea in Color invites visitors to encounter the role art once played in everyday Korean life across four themes connected to a traditional household: protection offered by animals at the doorstep; symbols of abundance and longevity in the garden; scholarly objects and books in the study; and the appreciation of majestic mountains beyond the walls of the home. These four sections are organized around core elements of traditional Korean painting: Byeoksa, protection against evil spirits; Gilsang, good fortune; Gyohun, edification; and Gamsang, appreciation, and prompt consideration of how these qualities intersect with life today. Korea in Color: A Legacy of Auspicious Images is an exhibition of the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea, in collaboration with Korean Culture and Information Service, Korean Cultural Center, Los Angeles, and The San Diego Museum of Art.

Curated by Jason Clay Lewis and Chuck Thomas Opening Reception: 5-8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 28 Exhibition Dates: Oct. 28, 2023 - Jan. 20, 2024 About the exhibition (from the gallery) Boundaries Edge is a conceptual exploration about pushing the limits of traditional landscape. A boundaries edge is the limit, the upper or external restriction or the end of the line. In today's rapidly evolving art world, a fascinating fusion of traditional methods have emerged. With this exhibition, we embark on a visual journey celebrating the intersection between art and form. By reducing subject matter to its essentials, the artist in the exhibition elicit a wide range of responses to what is landscape. One of the fascinating things about landscape is its openness to interpretation. Rather than dictating a single narrative, landscape allows the viewer to engage in a personal dialogue with the work, projecting their feeling and experiences onto the canvas. Expressing emotion through landscape serves as a visual language to convey thought beyond words. Through the interplay of color, texture and shape, each artists conveys a range of emotions, from joy and serenity to chaos and introspection. The expressive power of landscape lies in its ability to evoke visceral responses in tune with the viewer's own emotional awareness. Landscape has an inarguable appeal that transcends the boundaries of traditional representation. It's capability to provoke feelings, spark imagination, and foster particular interpretation allows us to embrace the beauty, complexity, and transformative power.
