Celebrating our 50th anniversary in 2020, Gallery Hyundai proudly presents Portrait, Figure and People - Modern and Contemporary Figure Paintings of Korea.

This exhibition features a selection of figure paintings from a century of Korean Modern and Contemporary Art from the 1910s through the 2000s, all of which manifest both a spirit of the time and individual ingenuity.

Figure paintings, in embodying different human typologies through transformations in era and social circumstances, can be seen as the self-portrait of Korean history itself. They therefore carry not only art historical value but serve as historical documentation where the dress and lifestyle of the subjects depicted yield a view into Korea’s modernization.
