A series of art shows in Busan and nearby Gyeongnam explore existence, memory and everyday resilience. Sanmok & We Gallery hosts a two-person show "Thought and Being" by ceramic artist Kwon Sang-in (professor emeritus, Kyungsung University) and abstract painter Lee Gi-ju (professor emeritus), pairing pottery and flat abstract work to probe "what is existence and how do we think?" M543 Cafe Gallery presents Kim Young-soon’s solo "Flowers Bloom, Birds Sing," 20 paintings and sculptures portraying people quietly enduring life’s hardships; a stove in the works symbolizes minimal warmth for hard lives. LianBae gallery offers "Winter in Disguise," a two-person show by Heo Mi-hoe, who creates intimate acrylic-box memory installations, and Choi Jae-ee, who explores wind and landscape as bridges between conscious and unconscious feelings. Haejoum Museum in Geoje stages "Four Masters of Honam—Light, Color, Line, Love," featuring mid-20th-century to contemporary painters (including Oh Ji-ho, Bae Dong-shin, Im Jik-sun, Son Sang-gi) from a 450-piece regional collection; this exhibit is reservation-only. Dates and contact numbers vary by venue.
