DOOSAN Gallery New York is pleased to present Permeated Perspective: Young Korean Painters, an exhibition of young Korean painters. The five artists participating in the exhibition, BoMin Kim, Jina Park, Donghyun Son, Noori Lee and Jin Ju Lee are painters in their twenties and thirties, who are working mostly in Korea.

Korean contemporary painting is characterized by a complex hybrid characteristics of traditional Korean paintings with contemporary techniques, or, in other words, by Western painting techniques reflecting the historically and culturally ingrained Eastern philosophies of Buddhism and Confucianism. The art critic Sunhak Kang defines "Korean Painting," which differs from yet is rooted in "Oriental Painting," as the perspective that reveals aspects of Zeitgeist in Korea in terms of philosophy, social environment, tradition, and so on. "Korean Painting" applies not only to the use of conventional composition, material, subject matter, and technique, but also to the painting's ability to capture its subject. Through the unique paintings of five artists, this exhibition will give the audience an opportunity to understand one branch of Korean contemporary art.
