Don’t miss the final days of Chang Ucchin: The Eternal Home, the first dedicated New York exhibition of one of Korea’s most beloved modern artists at the Korean Cultural Center New York!  A pioneering figure in Korean modernism, Chang Ucchin (1917–1990) developed a singular visual language defined by simplicity, playfulness, and a deep reverence for nature and home.

Through elemental motifs—trees, birds, the sun, the moon—Chang created poetic worlds of warmth and serenity. For him, the home was more than a structure: it was a spiritual sanctuary, where humanity and nature exist in perfect harmony.

In today’s rapidly shifting world, Chang Ucchin’s work offers a quiet refuge. His paintings invite us to rediscover the warmth of home, the comfort of nature, and the possibility of joy in life’s simplest moments. By dissolving the boundaries between reality and the ideal, The Eternal Home allows us to enter the world he imagined—one of purity, balance, and enduring artistic resonance.

Be sure to catch it before it closes July 19!
