Godwin-Ternbach Museum
Klapper Hall, Kew Gardens Hills, NY 11367
The upcoming Godwin-Ternbach exhibition of paintings by 15 immigrant Korean members of the Hoyeon Art Association of New York (HAANY) takes on new meaning following the death of association founder Joo Sang Kim Lee (professionally known as “Hoyeon”) in December 2015. The works—on display from February 1 through March 12—span a variety of themes and styles from monochrome calligraphy to colorful representations of flowers, fauna, figures and landscape. They also include 30 works by the late Hoyeon in a second-floor exhibition space accompanied by her portrait and a guestbook where visitors can share their memories of her life and work. Hoyeon began teaching the traditional art of brush-and-ink painting to immigrant Koreans in 1994 to help them to reinforce their cultural identity and find succor through art in their adopted home of Queens.
