Into the light - An exhibition by artists from Jeju Island

This exhibition focuses on the works of 7 artists who live and work in Jeju Island, one of the most scenic and beautiful islands located at the southernmost tip of South Korea. The island is famed for its volcanic origins, it's amazing pearl-diving, resilient women, its wild cliffs and surging ocean, it's magnificent, 'olle' trails which are walking paths adjacent to stormy seas and it's 'oreums' which are walkways on the rim of defunct volcanoes that dot the landscape. This exhibition pays tribute to the raw beauty and resilience of Jeju Island - of life there and the unbroken, intimate connection between Man & Nature. The Hallasan Mountain, the Jeju Oreum and Olle Trails, the Gotjawal Forest, a naturally formed forest located on the middle slopes of Hallasan Mountain, the magnificent sea view, Haenyeo, the female divers whose livelihood consists of harvesting a variety of mollusks, seaweed, and other sea life from the ocean as well as myriad Jeju myths, burst into life in this exhibition with astonishing tactility and deft technique.

Join us as we re-open our Gallery @ InKo Centre with an exhibition that brings with it the optimism of new beginnings and a renewed sense of hope!
