Villepin’s inaugural exhibition in the capital of South Korea

Villepin is pleased to announce a major solo exhibition of Korean born artist, Kang Myonghi: The Colors of Time opening in Seoul on November 3rd, 2023. This will be Villepin’s inaugural exhibition in the capital of South Korea and one that aims to celebrate a pivotal chapter of Kang Myonghi’s artistic journey.

The father-son founders of Villepin, Dominique and Arthur de Villepin whose friendship with the artist goes back three decades are privileged to witness her return to Seoul—an event laden with profound significance. Having spent many years traveling around the world, this exhibition marks a reconnection of the artist with her Korean and Asian heritage, thus rekindling her intrinsic ties to the land of her birth. As Myonghi revisits her heritage, her art takes on a new resonance. It’s a resurgence, a celebration of her identity as a Korean artist, and a testament to the enduring influence of her homeland.

“It brings us great pleasure to present Kang Myonghi: The Colors of Time in Seoul, the artist’s birth country. It is also a wonderful occasion for Villepin to extend its presence into the dynamic city of Seoul, which we are continuously inspired by with its rich and deep cultural landscape. As a gallery based in Hong Kong with strong ties to Europe, our unique program includes exhibitions and special projects globally. This exhibition marks the gallery’s inaugural chapter of our upcoming permanent program in Korea.

For the artist, it is a personal exhibition to evoke and reminisce her decades long artistic journey living and working in two distinct cultural worlds and we are excited to be able to share Kang Myonghi’s cherished story with the art community and the public in Seoul.”
