UMW Galleries’ ‘Park Dae Sung: Ink Reimagined’ Runs Through Dec. 10

The University of Mary Washington Galleries is pleased to present the landmark exhibition, Park Dae Sung: Ink Reimagined.

This exhibition showcases the extraordinary works of contemporary artist Park Dae Sung (b. 1945). Park possesses a profound mastery of traditional ink painting that he demonstrates in modern and imaginative interpretations of the natural world. Through his art, he transforms familiar Korean landscapes into vibrant, awe-inspiring compositions. Occupying both the Ridderhof Martin Gallery and duPont Gallery, this collection of nearly forty works on paper is a testament to the artist’s innovative spirit and remarkable skill.

The exhibition was curated by Suzie Kim and supported by the Korea Foundation and the Gana Foundation for Arts and Culture.
