Music And Art

These are some brilliant work by young artists at Mu Gung Hwa, an art gallery run by a Korean couple who have chosen to make Malaysia their home instead of back home in Korea. The owner and his wife are both talented artists themselves. The wife takes on the younger aged group and as the students grew older and progressed in their art, they are moved to more serious art studies under her husband's tutelage. I was informed that the owner is also a musician who does gigs with his music group and the wife was formerly a journalist. Music and the arts run in this family. I don't know much about their oldest daughter except that she's pursuing her tertiary studies at a local college. Here are two pieces of pencil artwork done by two girls aged 10 and 11 respectively. The bottle sketch happens to my favourite from the entire gallery. On the other hand, the portrait reminds me of a young Korean pop/movie star don't you think? And now for a stunner, Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Carribean presented to you by a 9 year old girl. This young artist is one talented girl as the portrait looks exactly like the real Captain Jack don't you think?
This cute "choo choo" train is crafted by a 10 year old boy. What I like about this piece is the paintwork and colours. A nice piece to hang up in a child's playroom.
Guests for the evening include parents of the students and friends and me....courtesy of an invitation from my friend who taught the gallery owner's wife English.
These are The Three Tenors. I mentioned earlier that music runs in the Korean family so it has to be part of the art exhibition. A group of well groomed men sang for us that night. I couldn't understand what they sang (in the Korean language) but it sounded really good and it was without microphones and music accompaniment.
