Event Details
Referencing traditional Korean folk art, artist Young Geun Lee’s work expresses the fundamental joys, sorrows, and demands of Korean commoners in the past. Emblematic and humorous images convey the success of family, the harmony of yin and yang, the wish for longevity without diseases, and the fair distribution of wealth, using symbols to fit into modern forms of expression as well as the colors blue, red, brown, white, and black, colors which in Eastern countries are seen as creating order in the universe. Lee draws on his culture, country, and life experience to create a beautiful garden of fundamental things. Join us to celebrate the opening of a three month exhibit by this distinguished Korean artist at the Mission Valley Library.
