Art & other things

This is the most spacious room that I've ever seen in Korea. There was something comforting about these orange walls. The  paintings in this exhibit were artfully crafted by a Korean painter named Kim Tae Ho. Cool name, right? He paints layers upon layers of thick, acrylic paint, then uses a tiny tool to chip away at the dried canvas. The result is a neutrally colored canvas with canyons of color flecked throughout. (The handsome man in the blue shirt is my husband).

I'm smiling because I'm so happy to see such a large, open space again.

Here's the artist I was talking about. I'd have included more pics of his work, but I don't think taking photos was even allowed. Also, Pepper and I ended up walking through another big exhibit without paying.....and we didn't even know it until afterward. I cannot UNSEE art, however, and nobody confronted us, so, yay.

Am I the only one who thinks a grown man playing a cell phone game is amusing? This Korean man is dressed up in a full-fledged suit, but I suppose he has to do something to occupy his mundane subway ride. 

South Korean fashion......older women have their own look, for sure. Mismatched patterns are all the rage.
This gentleman is using what I assume is a fitness stretching machine. Also, note the sun safety gear.
Just a regular street view!

Many South Korean women practice "safe sun." Nope, it's not raining, but the sun rays are still abundant.
