2015_5gamdo
The exhibition "2015-5gamdo," inspired by poet Lee Sang's "Ogamdo," was

held at Sejong Center for the Performing Arts to mark the 70th anniversary of

Korea's independence from Japan. The poem expressed Lee's frustrations

about life during the colonial period, and "201_5Gamdo" displays some 800

art works depicting the atmosphere of a newly liberated Korea by some 300

Korean artists.
Artist Cho Myung-sik creates a live painting piece everyday during the

exhibition. Using the medium of art, Cho strives to discover the true meaning

of independence. Meanwhile, Artist Lim Man-sun turns 'Byeokjomok,' the

thunderstruck jujube trees, into pieces of art. Combining calligraphy with

painting on wood, his pieces exude diverse symbols and images, further

expanding the possibilities of art. Through their artistry, the artists heal and

console everyone and their uncured wounds.
