Exhibition: “21 century’s genre painting feign story” by Korean Artist Kim Hyun-Jung
Open, daily: 12:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Address:
Korean Cultural Center Berlin
Leipziger Platz 3
10117 Berlin
http://www.kulturkorea.org/de/
Kim Hyun-Jung is a young and talented artist who gives new rise to the Traditional Korean Painting. Her delicate depictions of womenfeatured works evoke admiration and sympathy through humoristic emotions in it. She especially is worthy of admiration by establishing a paragon of “new” genre painting with sophisticated expressiveness and originality of subject matter. The works of Kim give a quite exceptional surprise in form and content. But the fact, in which her unprecedentedness is based on our traditional painting, becomes a rather convincing and delighting due to its nature. At first, her works, in terms of the form, have both Oriental and Western painting techniques. Fine strokes in facial expression and costume of female figure remind of line drawings technique of Goryeo Buddhist paintings. Subdued expression of hanbok, which seemed to be reproduced Bokchaebeop(伏 彩法), is excellent as well. The artist uses diaphanous hanji to express feature of hanbok which is close to transparent. Breakaway in the content is also interesting. Female figure in the work wears hanbok and her image is quite remote from the expected traditional perspectives, yet she is assertive and active. She does not care about regulation, formality and attitude which is implied in style of dress. She is on horseback riding with tightly rolledup skirt, or sometimes on the HarleyDavidson, the exclusive property of macho. Most people who pretend to be exemplary will inevitably feel a kind of catharsis by vicarious satisfaction through this drastic and honest exposure of hidden desire. So does works of Kim Hyun-Jung. Her naked disclosure of hidden desires might make you uncomfortable for a moment, but soon you can find out that it understands and consoles you. Her works obviously have the power to embrace and heal up of affront or loneliness of contemporaries.

Exhibition: “Distance between two Points” von JOSÉ SANTOS III
Open: Mon-Fri 10 a.m. - 6 p.m.
Address:
A3 - Arndt Art Agency Berlin
Fasanenstraße 28
10719 Berlin
In Distance between two points, Jose Santos III, through his art, channels the remarkable attributes found in passage—of the movement that takes place between origin and destination. Here, via motif and design, the artist uncovers the most fundamental quality where most pathways spring forth: the line and its straightforward motion between two points, and consequently, in its manifestation through actual space, which is the road.
José Santos III was born in Manila, Philippines in 1970 where he currently lives and works. He received his BFA from the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts where he also taught for several years. His early paintings have a “dreamlike” quality not for their subject but for their convincing veneer of naturalism, which comes into contradiction with our own real-life order. Santos’ narrative works reflect a strong cryptic iconography. Whether it’s about telling stories through his figurative paintings and drawings or tracing histories through his still life compositions in collage, painting, assemblage and installation works, their messages are oftentimes elusive and impenetrable, opening up possibilities for interpretation. In his more recent works, Santos continues his explorations of objects not only to uncover their histories but more so to obscure our perception and understanding of these everyday things. In 2000, he was chosen as one of the Thirteen Artists Awardees by the Cultural Center of the Philippines. His works have been exhibited in Denmark, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangladesh and New York.
