NOW ON EXHIBITION IN THE GILBERT GALLERY AT THE LINK

Four seasons and four meditations,
by Ki Yang Chung

Having been a supervisor for nuclear power plant construction in South Korea, Ki Yang came to New Zealand and worked at his own shop for 22 years – a café/gift shop in Auckland – for 7 days a week.

He suddenly asked himself: “Who am I? Only a work man?” Ki Yang saw some oriental drawing on TV and decided to draw, his mind made up. He didn’t find a teacher to teach him that style of painting, but didn’t give up: Ki Yang studied by himself through books and YouTube. He describes himself as “now painting for 10 years, and I try and try each day”.

Ki Yang teaches at the K-Centre once a week. [email protected]. He is the father of a St Andrew’s parishioner. These eight paintings, spread along the 3 bays of the Gilbert Gallery, are not for sale – but they are well worth a look!
