Busan Metropolitan Library Presents the Joyful World of Illustrator O-Oking

내용

Busan Metropolitan Library will hold “O-Oking’s Illusteurreuk” exhibition from today, September 29, through November 6 in its second-floor exhibition hall.

The exhibition features 25 works by illustrator Jo Ok-kyung, known professionally as O-Oking. Visitors can enjoy works showcasing the artist’s distinctive vibrant colors and charming characters, beautiful scenes from all four seasons, and joyful moments from everyday life.

Jo Ok-kyung works under the name O-Oking and creates freely in both digital and hand-drawn illustration. She has continued to produce works inspired by happy everyday moments, seasonal landscapes, and travel, as well as character illustrations that liken a woman’s life to the four seasons.

Through the exhibition, visitors can experience up close the artist’s perspective and sensibility in capturing joyful moments discovered in everyday life.

The artist draws inspiration from her own travels and backpacking trips, preserving in her works the happy moments shared with her travel companions. The exhibition offers visitors an opportunity to explore this artistic world through a diverse selection of works.

In addition to viewing the artworks, visitors can participate directly in the exhibition through coloring and stamp activities. They can add colors to outlines of the artist’s works and use stamps to complete their own unique creations.

A photo zone will also be set up in the exhibition hall, allowing visitors to take photographs against backdrops featuring scenes and characters from the artworks.

Admission is free and open to everyone. The exhibition is open daily from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., except on Mondays, statutory public holidays, and temporary closure days.

Park Eun-a, Director of Busan Metropolitan Library, said, “I hope this exhibition will give residents an opportunity to experience the warm and joyful moments captured in O-Oking’s works and take a brief respite from their busy daily lives. Busan Metropolitan Library will continue striving to provide residents with diverse cultural and artistic experiences as a cultural space where they can enjoy both books and art.”
