Korean Painter Adds Colour to the Year of France

Artist Kang Myonghi was born in the Republic of Korea in 1947. She graduated from National University in Seoul and settled in France in 1972. She made her living there as a professional painter, exhibiting her works regularly in galleries and art museums in France.

Kang's works absorbed the essence of China's classical paintings and combined her own experience from the western paintings. As a result, she broke the boundaries of eastern and western fine arts and formed a style of portraying nature with casual but impressive touches and colours.

Kang's personal art exhibition was opened to the public on August 10 to 21 at the National Art Museum of China, which was also a project of the Year of France in China. Other attractive pieces in this exhibition were poems of Dominique de Villepin, French prime minister, which echoed Kang's paintings.

The exhibition presented scores of her latest art creations imbued with Eastern culture.
