Event Description : Korean Cultural Centre presents "My Universe" an exhibition of artworks by Korean artist Park Myoung Hee. 

Park Myung - Hee is an artist who majored in painting and design and has been working in Busan. She has been working with Ottchil (Korean Traditional Lacquer Painting) on woods for a very long time. Her works are patient with continuous recoat of black Ottchil for smooth and shiny surface to achieve her purpose. She has been studying about the Ottchil substance with much perseverance and patience. Like the big-bang theory, her head is full of life energy and tissue cells dancing in it. According to the Artist the beauty of life has vitality to be unfolded and folded by itself.

Concept of works - My works intend to express the movements of small lives that we cannot see with our eyes and their life force. Perhaps that is the approaching way of biological dimension to know my own self. Not understanding where it comes from, always moving in my internal side, cannot deny, the energy of life is reflected in my Ottchil works as shapes called 'creation'.
About Ottchil (Korean Traditional Lacquer)
·         Ott tree grows in Korea, China, Japan, and the likes mainly in Southeast Asia as a special product of the Orient. Ottchil is extracted from Ott trees, which is a thick (kind of) liquid of light grayish white color at the first, but if it is exposed to air then it is changed to brown. Ottchil which is the pure paint that we get from nature has a lot of excellent characteristic with dignified and rich gloss. Once Ottchil is dried, its gloss is peculiarly beautiful. And dried Ottchil has strong aseptic ability, water-resistance, durability, adhesive strength, and its disinfection effect, antioxidant effect, and so on are superior. 
·         Ottchil which having such aesthetic and practical value has been used very much as paint for metal or woodwork, and particularly for all instruments and industrial art object that is need durability, in Korea, China, and Japan from old days. Especially, Ottchil becomes dry in a warm and humid place which has a temperature of  25~30% with a humidity of 75~85% and its color appears differently according to the drying condition. Such fussy drying condition makes the progressing of Ottchil work slow , but we could even say that such point is also the attractiveness of Ottchil work.
·         Ottchil having such aesthetic and practical value has been used excessively in countries like Korea, China and Japan as paint for metal or woodwork, and particularly for all instruments and industrial art object that needs durability.
