    《A Person Who Does Not Easily Wear Away》 : Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the Birth of Kim Sang-yoo, a Pioneer and Master of Korean Contemporary Printmaking The Aesthetics of Stillness and Harmlessness An exhibition that conveys profound resonance without relying on dazzling techniques or bold colors. Through emptied spaces and restrained expression, Kim Sang-yoo embodies the beauty of “artistry without artifice.” The longer you look, the more his works leave a quiet and lasting impression.
