Shangyun Gallery will host a solo exhibition titled "Beyond the Gaze of the Self" by Maiko Kobayashi (b. 1977, Japan) from October 17 to November 16. Maiko Kobayashi, who is holding her second solo exhibition with Jo Eun Gallery, uses a unique modeling language to express creatures reminiscent of animals, such as rabbits and dogs. The characters that Kobayashi repeatedly depicts are not simply borrowed from animation or manga, but are closer to natural, pure expressions of consciousness, like a child's doodles. As a person, the artist projects her own emotions into the work, extracting her inner feelings and thoughts through the movements of her hands, which become lines and colors on the canvas, presenting herself as a concrete "existence". The "existence" created by the artist gazes at the viewer or the unknown, as if they are their own living creatures. These characters go beyond simple "kawaii" (cuteness) and give people a sense of fragility or danger, similar to our human imagination, which is difficult to clearly define and cannot be simplified, such as love and sadness, fragility and strength, depression and hope. In particular, the artist, who values ​​materials, tears up traditional Japanese washi paper, rubs it, sometimes glues it together, and then sticks it on a board or canvas, adding a delicate and strong texture to the whole work. The artist believes that the fragile yet tough nature of washi paper is much like human nature. Just like the note in the corner of his studio that reads "Even when times are difficult, there are times to face real life", Kobayashi's life and art are inspired by the strong vitality of human beings to survive in chaotic times. According to this, Kudo Takeshi, director of the Tagawa City Art Museum, said that the strong and rich "layers" of lines and colors created by Kobayashi are the beauty created by the "layers" of consciousness of people living in modern society. It is said that the "existence" in the work is ultimately not the artist himself, but a portrait of a modern person, the face of all of us, beyond the self.

Seoul Tower, right?
That&#39;s it.
I&#39;ve been there four times in ten years, and every time is the same.
It&#39;s nice to have a drink and enjoy the view, the sunset, and the night view.
The length of your stay will vary depending on what you want to do.
Don&#39;t forget to get off the mountain in time.

Myeongdong Beacon Tower, located in Namsan Park in Seoul, South Korea, is also known as the &quot;Mokmisan Beacon Tower.&quot; Reconstructed in 1993, it is not the original historical structure, but it still possesses a unique charm.

From a historical and cultural perspective, the beacon tower was built during the Joseon Dynasty to transmit urgent military intelligence from the border to the central government. It served as a vital communication hub for the capital for over 500 years, demonstrating its crucial role in ancient military communications. From a scenic perspective, it is an excellent observation post, offering panoramic views of Seoul. The surrounding environment is also beautiful, complementing the natural landscape and cultural facilities of Namsan Park. In addition, nearby attractions include the Octagonal Pavilion and the Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall, which can be visited together. Overall, Myeongdong Beacon Tower is a site of both historical and cultural value, suitable for visitors interested in history and those who enjoy scenic views.
