[Point Daily, reporter Song Ga-young] Ewha Seoul Hospital announced on the 25th that it will hold Korean painter Kim Hyun Jung's invitational solo exhibition 'Naesoong Stories' at the Art Cube through November 17.
Painter Kim Hyun Jung has been actively exhibiting at major institutions at home and abroad, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Korea. She was selected in 2017 for Forbes' 'Asia's 30 Under 30 with Influence.'
This exhibition depicts the everyday moments of a woman in elegant hanbok — sitting in front of the refrigerator eating pizza, drinking coffee, exercising — capturing the Korean sentiment of trying to strike a balance between saving face and being honest.
Painter Kim Hyun Jung said, "While painting the Naesoong Stories, I overcame my own depression and had a time of healing," adding, "Since this exhibition is being held at a hospital, I hope patients, caregivers, and staff who view the works can set down their burdens for a moment and encounter the humor of everyday life."
