This exhibition includes paintings by Woonsook Kim and ceramics by Geejo Lee, who are both Korean artists.

Wonsook Kim creates story-based figurative paintings that are poetic and ethereal in their fluid execution and mythical subject matter. She accepts that calligraphy has a clear influence on her work because she grew up surrounded by images of this type.

The highlight among her recent paintings is Walking the Dry Land III from the series The Wilderness (Gwang-ya) paintings.
