James Rosenquist: Universe Solo exhibition at the Sehwa Museum of Art, Seoul

This exhibition James Rosenquist: Universe, in collaboration with the Estate of James Rosenquist, will present a first-ever large-scale retrospective of Rosenquist's work in Korea, encompassing paintings, collages, and archival materials from the 1960s to the 2010s that have not previously been displayed in Korea.

James Rosenquist (1933-2017) was a leading artist who played a key role in the American Pop Art movement, alongside artists such as Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Jim Dine, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg. Rosenquist created narrative paintings using the imagery of advertising and mass media, while his experience as a billboard painter enabled him to render works of massive scale. This helped him form his distinctive artistic style which influenced the development of American Pop Art.

Immerse yourself in the unique perspective of James Rosenquist, who offered a new way of seeing the world through his monumental paintings.

'There’s so much we know nothing about. Here we are in our natural environment and the mysteries of the universe are all around us. I want to paint these mysteries.'
