Calligraphy recast as contemporary visual art
At a glance
Seoul Arts Center focuses on artist Ewan and his question of why people write, using traditional calligraphy as a starting point.
What to expect
Works combine brush and ink with painting, images, text, and seal carving to expand writing into a personal visual language.
