Champagne inspired art

In step with its launch in Korea, the two-centuries old champagne house Perrier-Jouet is hosting an original exhibition featuring works by top Korean artists of diverse fields.

At the exhibition "Perpetual Emotions by Perrier-Jouet," 15 artists showcase their champagne-inspired works.



Participating artists are hanbok designer Lee Young-hee, fashion designer Juun.J, shoe designer Lee Bo-hyun, jewelry designer Kim Sung-hee, makeup artist Lee Kyung-min, photographer Kim Yong-ho, installation artist Kim Chi-ho, fabric artist Kan Ho-seob, lightning designer Park Jin-woo, florist Kim Jong-wook, painter Lee Eun-joo, book designer Jung Eun-kyung, media artist Seo Hyo-jung, visual artist Pak Ji-sook and pianist Seo Hye-gyung.

Many of the artists used anemone, the champagne brand`s symbol, in their works. Lee Young-hee embroidered the flower on hanbok and Lee Bo-hyun attached the flowers made of Swarovsky and satin on high heels.

Seeing champagne as synonymous with weddings, Jung Eun-kyung made a book decorated with anemones on folding screens, which are typically used in Korean traditional weddings.

The exhibition runs through June 30 at the Kring Gallery in Daechi-dong, southern Seoul. Admission is free. For more information, call (02) 557-8898.
