CHAPTER 2: MYONGHI KANG — THE REBIRTH OF NATURE


Explore the first chapter of The Rebirth of Nature at our Central gallery

VILLEPIN is delighted to announce the continuation of Myonghi Kang's highly acclaimed  exhibition. Now in its second chapter, we are opening at The SHOWCASE, operated by  the Hong Kong Arts Development Council in Wong Chuk Hang. The move allows  Myonghi Kang's artworks to unfold on a grander scale, enveloping viewers and  encouraging them to delve deeper into the artist's creative process and vision. 

Taking inspiration from The Claude Monet room of the Chichu Art Museum and the  Musée de l’Orangerie, the idea evokes an illusion of a boundless universe. In the first  chapter, we emphasized the historical significance of Myonghi's work in dialogue with  J.M.W. Turner, Gustave Courbet, and Paul Cézanne. For this second chapter, we intend to  highlight Myonghi as an artist without borders, showcasing her paintings created in diverse  locations such as Antarctica, Mongolia, and France. This emphasizes her geographical  footprint spanning across the globe.

I was holding my paintbrush and the wind was blowing, thereby moving it... And so I painted with the wind, and it was just right...
— Myonghi Kang
