Korean Cultural Centre India (KCCI) invites you all to the Opening Ceremony of the exhibition ‘Confluence: Beyond boundaries’ on 17th January 2020 (Friday) at 5 pm, Baek Nam Jun Hall, Korean Cultural Centre India. The exhibition will be open to the public till February 28.
Korean Cultural Centre presents the works of 2 artists Jang Hee Mun from South Korea and the Devendra Shukla from India.
The Art exhibition is a combination of painting, sculpture, and installation. The exhibition confluence; beyond boundaries is the close perception and exploration of the common elements that have gone into the making of synthesis of 2 countries.
Jang Hee Mun and Devendra Shukla’s works belong to different cultures and traditions. Yet, they are a confluence of creative minds. Spontaneity seems to be another hallmark of their works. The images and forms are ambiguous, relying to a great degree on imaginative response. Ambiguity seems to be their underlying aesthetic since there is a free play of brush strokes and colours. Mun’s artworks are gestural, indicating powerful emotional energies both in terms of colour as well as brushwork. Devendra’s artworks are replete with identifiable and not so recognizable forms but there is an inherent structure to his composition with the colours relating to his cultural context.
Despite the inherent differences of two countries, their works are consanguine and the inter dialogue they have created in their works marks them as a confluence of two creative minds, who though from very different traditions and cultures, have been able to strike a choir of harmony.
