VILLEPIN is pleased to announce an exhibition featuring work by the Korean artist Myonghi Kang.

Myonghi Kang's idyllic canvases offer an intimate view into the elusive heart of her artistic pursuit: a faith in painting and drawing as a medium capable of profoundly reinforcing our relationship with the natural world. Moving with ease between abstraction and figuration, the artist reflects on questions of perception, embodiment and understanding, while offering viewers a new experience of time, space, and color. Through cosmic landscapes, her command of colors, marks and shapes convey a sense of exuberance, peace and joy.

For over five decades, the artist has continuously sought new ways to represent nature on paper and canvas in a practice that involves painting, poetry as well as philosophy. The works on view in the exhibition vary dramatically in scale yet they share an immediacy that results from the artist's familiar and fluent engagement with oils and pastels. The gallery will be transformed into a meditative sanctuary to complement the artist's work, providing a hideaway from the hustle and bustle of city life, and allowing visitors to become immersed in her visual language.
