South Korean artist Kim Nam-pyo is holding a solo exhibition titled "Who is Afraid of Painting?" at the Seongnam Art Center's Bandal Gallery starting June 16. This exhibition encapsulates his 30-year journey in painting, featuring around 30 works focused on landscapes such as mountains and seas. Kim views painting as an existential practice rather than mere depiction, seeking to 'become' the subject much like an actor embodies a character. His style ranges from impressionistic colors to hyperrealistic depictions, reflecting on the essence and purpose of painting in contemporary art. The exhibition runs until July 13.
