Yu Dichi Department Holds Folk Painting Writer Kim Eun-hee's Individual Exhibition with Happiness

Jan 14, 2025

Yudi Dental Department will hold a solo exhibition by Kim Eun-hee at the Yudi Gallery until the 5th of next month.

This exhibition by Udy Gallery Kim Eun-hee and "Containing Happiness" features works that harmonize the traditional beauty and modern senses contained in folk paintings.

Folk Painting is a painting drawn by our former ancestors wishing for health, happiness, and harmony, and contains our own emotions and aesthetics. By adding a new interpretation to the traditional values of these folk paintings, Kim Eun-hee connects the tastes and winds of the time contained in old paintings from a modern perspective.




In this exhibition, works containing various patterns and stories will be introduced. The delicate patterns and symbols of the bookshelves, the warm atmosphere of Hojakdo Island containing our emotions, the vitality of Chochungdo Island, which seems to hear the sound of cute grass bugs, and the deep meaning of the letters wishing for happiness catch the eyes of visitors. Each work is expressed in clear colors and stable writing skills unique to Kim Eun-hee, creating an elegant style.

Through this exhibition, Kim Eun-hee said, `I want to convey the good energy and positive message contained in folk paintings to visitors. I hope that it will be a valuable time to experience a new perspective through modern reinterpretation while feeling the traditional charm of folk paintings."

Meanwhile, Kim Eun-hee majored in art education at the Sungshin Women's Graduate School of Education and is currently a member of the Folk Painting Love Association. She continues to work actively by participating in the Asian Contemporary Art Exhibition (Japan) in 2014, the Korean Folk Painting Year-end Special Exhibition in 2020, and the Korea Art Festa in 2022, 2024, and 2025.
