Royal Palace – Korean Traditional Embroidery
Royal Palace is more than just an exhibition title—it is a symbolic expression that encapsulates the history and artistic value of Korean embroidery.
This exhibition focuses on the artworks of Lee Jungsook, who reinterprets Joseon Dynasty court embroidery, illuminating the delicate beauty unique to Korean embroidery and its deep cultural significance. Lee’s works can be divided into three main themes: First, she presents works that modernly reinterpret Joseon Dynasty court embroidery. Next, she introduces practical Korean embroidery works represented by bojagi (wrapping cloths). Lastly, through Buddhist embroidery works, she explores the religious aspect of Korean embroidery. Lee, who has been dedicated to embroidery for over 40 years since her 20s, has built an original art world by adding modern sensibility and expression to traditional Korean embroidery and has gained international recognition.
In this way, the exhibition Royal Palace aims to illuminate the historical and cultural significance of Korean royal court embroidery and newly presents the beauty of Korean embroidery that connects tradition and modernity through her works.
