Polish Embassy brings cultural collaboration in exhibition

The Polish ambassador here hosted foreign envoys and art enthusiasts at the opening of an art exhibition that featured two Polish painters who participated in three-week residencies in South Korea.

“Both artists visited Korea and became fascinated with Korean culture and its natural surroundings,” said Polish Ambassador to South Korea Krzysztof Majka during the exhibition’s opening reception at Samsung Raemian Gallery in Seoul on Tuesday.

The artists were hosted by Mosan Art Museum in Boryeong City, South Chungcheong Province. Impressionist Zbigniew Murzyn was invited for a three-week residency here in September 2013 and Krzysztof Recko-Rapsa, an abstract artist, was invited for three weeks in September 2012.

Murzyn’s work focuses on maritime, architectural and rural landscapes. His paintings were exhibited in the 11th International Symposium of Sculpture and Art at Gaehwa Art Park in 2013.

The exhibition dubbed “Polish Artists Inspired by Korea” will continue through March 16. For more information on the exhibition, contact the Raemian Gallery on (02) 765-3304.
