1811 – 1872

Camélia et Pâquerette

On admire les fleurs de serre

Qui loin de leur soleil natal,

Comme des joyaux mis sous verre,

Brillent sous un ciel de cristal.

Sans que les brises les effleurent

De leurs baisers mystérieux,

Elles naissent, vivent et meurent

Devant le regard curieux.

Harmonie du Soir

Voici venir les temps où vibrant sur sa tige

Chaque fleur s’évapore ainsi qu’un encensoir ;

Les sons et les parfums tournent dans l’air du soir ;

Valse mélancolique et langoureux vertige !

Chaque fleur s’évapore ainsi qu’un encensoir ;

Le violon frémit comme un cœur qu’on afflige ;

Valse mélancolique et langoureux vertige !

Le ciel est triste et beau comme un grand reposoir.

Myonghi Kang – Korean (b. 1947)

—

Myonghi Kang’s (b. 1947, Daegu, South Korea) vibrant cosmic paintings project a pure sensibility without boundaries. Through her canvases, the artist expresses a view of the natural world that vacillates between emptiness and fullness in myriad manifestations of colours, marks, and shapes. Myonghi’s paintings radiate joy and powerfully transform their surrounding space. The artist is also a prolific poet; these two mediums allow the artist to capture the world around her, re-constructing its cartography through metaphysical forms of representation.

Developing an interest in art from an early age, Myonghi has long examined her relationship with nature which emerges as a divine silhouette in her paintings. Throughout her life, she has also been a scholar of the philosophical and technical study of traditional Eastern paintings.
