Korean Eye 2020: Creativity and Daydream aims to guide viewers to a creativity that is both old-fashioned and contemporary, notable for its clarity and nearly mechanical precision.
Young Korean artists nowadays have the common skill of creating plausible myths and of narrating them using novel techniques and mediums achieving perfect visual shape only with a rigorous approach. Contemporary art of South Korea is defined by an aesthetic expression that can be understood by everyone: by addressing complex topics and national traditions, the artists use an intuitively clear visual code.
Creativity and Daydream invites onlookers to participate in the development of a new art, and encourages them to unveil new aspects of South Korean Contemporary Art. The exhibition includes includes 20 emerging and established contemporary Korean artists.
Korean Eye 2020 is presented as part of STARTNET Art Fair.
