I know for a fact that there are those of you who think art galleries are rather boring
places to be. But what we′re about to show you might change
that perception of yours. For that, we are joined by our Yim Yoonhee.
Good afternoon. That′s right, there are a couple new exhibitions here in Seoul, including
one gallery that offers what for many may be a new experience with art.
There are also a couple solo exhibitions worth checking out.
Take a look.
From the outside, this looks like just another trendy club in Seoul,... but take a step inside
and you′ll find yourself immersed in a rich art experience.
The Jean Gallery is now home to trendy new works of art, inspired by, and some actually
created by the leader of pop art, Andy Warhol. Some of Warhol′s most recognizable creations
have been re-invented, from paintings to multimedia art,... with fun pieces decorating the walls.
With lights and couple cocktails in hand, it′s a new way to enjoy some of Seoul′s
most eye-catching works of art.
"Linda was a fantastic photographer. And I hope that in this exhibition you′ll be able
to see many aspects of her work... of her great work."
The legendary Paul McCartney of "The Beatles" isn′t the only artist in the family.
His former wife Linda McCartney, who passed away in 1998, was one of the most well-recognized
photographers of the 20th century. She captured some of the most famous musicians
of the ′60s and ′70s,... rock and roll legends,... including her husband.
She had access to places most photographers are kept out of,... and she documented their
lives through over 200 photos in this collection. Korean artist Nam Kyung-min has also opened
a solo exhibition,... with work that echoes the famous Korean traditional painter Kim
Hong-do, known by many as "Danwon." He was a key figure in his day, with his new
style of paintings, and now artist Nam takes a contemporary painting approach to the traditional.
Paul McCartney is so popular all over the world.
The Beatles were considered pioneers, experimenting with music, and it seems like Linda McCartney
also veered away from the traditional as well. Linda McCartney is the first female photographer
to have her work featured on the cover of the magazine, "Rolling Stone," which is quite
the accomplishment. She had a unique ability to access all of
the top rock musicians of the time,... and while other photographers focus on technique,
McCartney took the unique approach of showing raw candids, full of emotion and life,...
which is what shot her work to stardom. Let′s go back to the Andy Warhol exhibition.
He′s known for making certain items iconic in art,.. like the Campbell′s soup can and
the Absolut Vodka bottle. Right. In 1986, Absolut Vodka collaborated
with Andy Warhol, which led to the creation of the Andy Warhol edition bottle,... a trademark
piece at the gallery. This event is a continued collaboration between
the two, and so the
