Witty paintings encourage us to take another look
The whimsical works of Japanese artist Hiroyuku and Korean artist Moon Seon-mee are brought together in 'Second Glance,' an exhibition at Artcube 2R2 in Gangnam-gu, southern Seoul. Hiroyuki reinterprets western masterpieces — from Leonardo da Vinci to Van Gogh and Magritte — playfully turning their most famous figures into cats. Through familiar yet satirical imagery, the artist invites viewers to take a fresh look at that which they have taken for granted. Moon's humorous female characters with exaggerated features explore the tension between socially constructed ideals of femininity and personal desires. The exhibition features a variety of media, including painting and digital work. 'Hiroyuki and Moon Seon-mee transcend differences in culture, gender and generation in their works. We hope visitors will discover reflections of their own emotions and experiences in these artworks,' said Hong ji-sook, CEO of Art Cube 2R2. The gallery is run by ArToken, an online non-fungible token art trading platform. The exhibition 'Second Chance" runs through Aug. 13.

Lee In's solo show at Artcube 2R2 explores social identity
Artist Lee In's solo exhibition 'Encounters on the Horizon' opened Friday at Artcube 2R2 in Gangnam-gu, southern Seoul, where the artist explores questions about identity in society. The solo exhibition consists of two series, 'Palette, something' and 'Black, something,' encompassing Lee's oil paintings and sculptures, which use hanji, traditional Korean mulberry paper. Lee delves into the question of social relationships, according to the gallery. Artcube 2R2 is run by ArtToken, an online platform for trading art in the form of non-fungible tokens. The exhibition runs through June 11. Lee's solo exhibition coincides with a group exhibition at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where he is among the 34 featured artists. The exhibition at LACMA, titled 'Line, Form, Qi: Calligraphic Art from the Foundation INK Collection,' examines innovations in calligraphic art through works of contemporary calligraphy. The exhibition opened April 6 and runs through Oct. 19. The works on display at LACMA reveal the evolution of the pictograph, and explore the relationship between content and form, the development of new scripts and the abstraction of the written word, according to the museum.
