The Korean Cultural Center in Belgium is excited to unveil a traditional Korean painting exhibition from December 6, 2024, to February 28, 2025. This exhibition honors Korea’s rich artistic legacy by displaying an array of works that delve into themes such as prosperity, hope, and the connection between nature and humanity.

The collection showcases essential aspects of Korean traditional art, featuring pieces like Sipjangsaengdo(Ten Symbols of Longevity), Ilwolobongdo(Sun and Moon with Five Peaks), Gungjung Hwajodo(Palace Flower and Bird Paintings), Haehakbandodo (Sea, Cranes, and Peaches), and Chaekgeori (bookshelf paintings). It also includes floral compositions such as The Potato Flower and The Peony Flower, along with Flowers and plants Paintings(Hwahwado), integrating natural themes with symbolic elements to provide a varied visual encounter. Each artwork intertwines traditional motifs with contemporary perspectives, offering attendees a deep understanding of Korea's cultural heritage.

Key highlights of the exhibition encompass Yeonapdo (lotus and duck paintings), Hwajeopdo (flowers and butterflies), and Chaekgeori—creations that masterfully depict the distinctive allure of late Joseon dynasty folk art. These pieces transcend mere visual enjoyment, imbibing profound messages about health, wealth, optimism, and success, while underscoring the enduring significance of traditional Korean art.
