As Lunar New Year's Day approaches, Avenuel Art Wall, the main branch of Lotte Department Store, is holding a special exhibition by artists KwonYong-rae, Jeong Jik-seong, and Lee Jong-ki to celebrate the ‘Year of the Blue Dragon.’ This exhibition, called 'Like a Dragon', is a special collaboration with the theme of dragons, and each artist is expected to fascinate audiences with their unique works.
Artist Kwon Yong-rae's work began as an exploration of light during his college years, and he expresses dragon scales by reflecting light of various colors on stainless steel. His work combines warm light on cold steel to express the dragon's ecstatic moment.
Artist Jeong Jik-seong depicts the majestic appearance of a dragon with intense colors and dynamic brushstrokes. His work expresses everyday life and fantasy in abstract form, giving viewers a new perspective.
Artist Lee Jong-gi presents unique works by combining the Simpsons character, a symbol of Western popular culture, with blue-and-white porcelain, a traditional Korean art. His work delightfully combines East and West, tradition and modernity, providing new fun to visitors.
In this exhibition, you can experience the mysterious world of dragons by combining the different perspectives and techniques of the three artists. Visitors are expected to be able to enjoy the beauty of dragons, both traditional and modern, through this exhibition. The exhibition will be held until March 4th at Lotte Department Store Main Branch Avenuel B2~4F Art Wall.
