From Korea to Dubai
Nakheel Mall has partnered with Springs 15, an organisation that manages Asian events and projects in the UAE, to house a one-of-a-kind K-art gallery. The month-long exhibition will feature masterpieces from two world-renowned artists, Son Jin-Hyoung and Kim Jong-Sook. The interactive gallery will be free to visit for Nakheel Mall and The View’s visitors. Art enthusiasts can look forward to Sook’s captivating collection of shimmering landscapes that provide contrast between the ancient tradition of Korean landscape painting and the urban luxuries of the 21st-century consumer culture. The landscapes start as traditional acrylic paintings, that are then embroidered with jewels, such as crystals, pearls and opals. Hyoung’s series of artworks delve into positive energy and the continuous eruption of power through the constant leap of life and voluntary movement.
Until July 22, The Crystal Dome (East), Nakheel Mall, Palm Jumeirah
