Cheongsong County to Hold "Kwon Yongseop and Yeo Youngnan's Travel Exhibition: From Cheongsong to New York"

Chung Song Yasong Art Museum Hosts Special Exhibition Featuring Korean-American Artists

Cheongsong County, North Gyeongsang Province, will host the special exhibition "From Cheongsong to New York: The Journey of Kwon Yongseop and Yeo Youngnan" featuring Korean-American artists at the County Cheongsong Yasong Art Museum from July 26 to August 18.

Cheongsong Yasong Art Museum hosted the special exhibition by writer Kwon Yongseop and artist Yeo Youngnan titled "From Cheongsong to New York."

The County Cheongsong Yasong Art Museum continues to promote cultural and artistic exchange and development between regions by inviting artists who are actively working both domestically and internationally to hold exhibitions. The museum also provides attractions for local residents and tourists, thereby contributing to the improvement of quality of life through the enjoyment of culture and the arts.

Kwon Yongseop and Yeo Youngnan are a married couple of artists known for raising global awareness of Dokdo through numerous solo and joint exhibitions, including "Kwon Yongseop's Dokdo Promotion" and "Dokdo Story," both in Korea and abroad. Kwon Yongseop's realistic landscape paintings and rapid ink drawings, created while traveling throughout Korea and overseas, along with Yeo Youngnan's unique stone paintings, clearly demonstrate each artist's individuality within both Korean and Western art styles.

This special exhibition features more than 60 exquisite works, including Kwon Yongseop's delicate yet powerful ink paintings and Yeo Youngnan's beautiful oil paintings. The exhibition spans the breathtaking natural scenery of Cheongsong's Juwangsan Mountain and Jusanji Pond, which are part of a UNESCO Global Geopark, as well as Geomundo, the westernmost island of Korea, Ieodo in the south, Dokdo in the east, and even the splendor of New York.

County Governor Yoon Kyunghee stated, "At this exhibition, visitors can appreciate both Korean and Western art, and enjoy the natural scenery of various regions of Korea, including our local treasures Juwangsan Mountain and Jusanji Pond, as well as places that are difficult to visit. I hope many tourists will visit and find relaxation for their weary minds and bodies."
