Bang Hye-ja — Sowing Light from My Heart Everywhere
방혜자 - 천지에 마음의 빛 뿌리며 간다
This exhibition honors Bang Hye-ja (1937-2022), a major artist who established a singular artistic universe by drawing from Franco-Korean cultural sources. Presented in 2026 to commemorate the 140th anniversary of diplomatic relations, the exhibition brings together the principal works of this pioneering woman painter of Korean abstract art. Alongside collections from the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, works from France are shown in Korea for the first time. The exhibition explores the inspiration that « light » has been for this artist throughout her life, her worldviews, and her methods of expression. Her varied pictorial experiments and creative intuitions unfold here in all their richness.
