From October 14th to December 24th, the Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery in Shinjuku, Tokyo, will host an exhibition titled "Monochromatic Rhythm: Korean Abstraction," focusing on Korean abstract painting, which has been garnering global attention.

In the process of absorbing contemporary Western art, abstract painting has established itself as a uniquely Korean form of expression that celebrates Eastern spirituality. In particular, the "Dansaekhwa" (Dansaekha) style, which emerged in the 1970s and is characterized by its extremely stripped-down, minimalist beauty and delicacy, has shown a rich development.

The Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery has housed Korean abstract paintings as a core part of the Terada Collection since its opening. This exhibition will comprehensively display works from the Terada Collection, including Dansaekhwa, in cooperation with art museums and collectors across Japan. It will be an opportunity to contemplate the nature of expression and experience a heightened sense of awareness.
