On October 4, the opening of Korean engravings exhibition by famous Korean artist Lee Chulsoo “Smiling world” was held at the National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

The exhibition presented 60 works from 1990 to 2017.

Lee Chulsoo is the artist who started in the 80s as a socialism supporter addressing public issues in his works, by early 90s, he completely changes his ideological position and takes an interest in Buddhism and straight lines. The artist's works refer us to the classical monochrome ink painting on white paper. Lee Chulsoo rarely using colour, expresses the main idea of the philosophy in connecting all things by expressive line and blur.

The artist reminds us that we must not forget that we can achieve harmony through the union of people with Buddhism philosophy.

Lee Chulsoo has been lived in the province for more than 20 years, he believes that the physical work helps people to find balance in the difficult time we live.

The exhibition of the artist Lee Chulsoo has already been held in such cities as Basel, Sakhalin, Seattle, and now in Astana, which was organized by Korean Cultural Center of the Embassy of the Republic of Korea.
