Rockefeller Center plays host to new Korean art exhibition and 21-foot outdoor sculpture
Center. The exhibition, the first celebration of Korean culture at the Rockefeller Center, is called “Origin, Emergence, Return” and explores three generations of Korean art from the 20th century to the present.
“Origin, Emergence, Return” features more than 70 works of art and showcases artwork from Korean artists Park Seo-Bo, Lee Bae, and Jin Meyerson. The three artists investigate and challenge the notions of abstraction through unique materials such as traditional Korean paper, called “hanji,” charcoal, computer graphics, and augmented reality. Some of the motifs expressed include life and death, presence and absence, and displacement and diaspora.
Johyun Gallery, a leading gallery in Busan, the second-largest city in Korea, also contributed several paintings to the exhibition by the Korean-German artist Jongsuk Yoon, which are now on display in the lobby of the Simon & Schuster Building at the Rockefeller Center. Yoon’s artwork, described as “mindscapes,” derive inspiration from Korea’s natural landscapes, as well as the Expressionist art movement, cave art, and Asian ink paintings.
