ça y est !! ici j'ai fait plus de maedups... :)

At Gansong Gallery in Seoul

I went to see the Sa Gun Ja or Four Gentlemen Exhibition at Gansong Gallery. Four Gentlemen in art refers to four plants: the orchid, the bamboo; the chrysanthemum; and the plum blossom. There were lots of bamboo drawings from 1700's. The four also depicts unfolding of four seasons throughout the year as orchid is for spring, bamboo for summer, chrysanthemum for fall and plum blossom for winter. I loved to see how each artist had a different brush strokes and styles of drawings and how their hand writings also played a role in creating the overall style and character. At the end of the exhibition, there was a little surprise- a white peacock! -

which was utterly amazing.

I truely and deeply appreciate this beauty from Korea.. Chanel should come up with Chanel Seoul soon. ;)

ferry, sky, seagulls

yes, and today was definitely seagull's feasting day. i couldn't believe how desperate they were to catch those little snacks people threw in the air, even holding up in hands. perfect breeze, perfect warm weather with adequate amount of sunshine..and nice bike riding around three brother islands. haven't had a good workout for a while so it was well worth the journey which took me more than the time i actually got to stay in islands. but it was really a nice getaway from the bustling city with people and noise for a change!

little inspiration

all that green. it really is the best time to enjoy the greens. there's a little less green than i would like to see but i'm dreaming of lying around on grass and maybe pluck a bit of flower to put in my vase. i'm fascinated by the Korean traditional accessaries like bee-nyo and norigae. i'm going to find out whether norigae was used as pure accessary like necklaces or had its very own function.
