What Echoes in the Small Mountain: Park Dae-sung and the West Coast

December 11, 2025 – July 13, 2026

Discover the innovative ink paintings of renowned Korean artist Park Dae-sung, whose dynamic brushwork captures the emotional essence of monumental landscapes rather than literal representation. This exhibition features a historic debut—his first painting inspired by a location outside Korea, depicting California's Yosemite—alongside three monumental works from the museum's collection displayed together for the first time. Through energetic compositions and inventive techniques rooted in traditional Korean painting, Park transforms views of mountains and natural wonders into what curator Yoon-Jee Choi describes as "panoramic mind-pictures" that convey the awe-inspiring power of nature's grandeur.
