The twelve living artists presented in this exhibition were specifically selected to display both the dynamics and diversity of their work within the context of the title: "Simply Beautiful: Breath of Nature in Contemporary Korean Art". They all recognize that art is not a continual reproduction or imitation of static forms and as true artists they must continually breathe new life and creativity into their endeavors. Accordingly, they have constantly strived to find expression in a variety of ways that reflect the past, mirror the present and envision the future. They possess strong emotional and spiritual ties to their native landscape and culture and draw from Korean aesthetics to sustain, complement and further their contemporary.
