Traditional Korean Buddhist Sutra Painting
Saturday, August 21 | 2:00 pm
Oegil Kim Kyeong Ho, artist and president of the Korean Sutra Transcription Research Association, will give a lecture and demonstration on the traditional Korean technique of painting sutras, sacred Buddhist texts. During the Goryeo period (918-1392), Buddhism was officially supported by the king and state, which led to a flourishing of Buddhist art. Many exquisite gilt-painted manuscripts, which were both costly and time-consuming to make, were commissioned. Unfortunately this delicate technique of manuscript painting was eventually replaced when printing became popular. Oegil Kim Kyeong Ho has dedicated his career to rediscovering this past art. The lecture will be in Korean with onsite English interpretation.
