The Jeonbuk Portrait Artists Association will hold a planned exhibition titled 'Humans and Nature: Portraits of Coexistence' at the Wujin Cultural Space Gallery on the first floor from October 30 to November 5. This exhibition, the first collaborative exchange exhibition between the Jeonbuk Portrait Artists Association and the Ulsan Portrait Artists Association, is expected to be a meaningful occasion where artists from both regions come together as one through art.

A total of 31 artists, including 16 from the Jeonbuk Portrait Artists Association and 15 from the Ulsan Portrait Artists Association, will participate, showcasing various flat paintings such as Western and Korean paintings. This exhibition, themed 'Coexistence of Humans and Nature,' aims to explore the relationship between humans and nature by capturing the perspectives and emotions of each artist, and to expand the meaning of artistic exchange between regions.

Since its establishment in 2000, the Jeonbuk Portrait Artists Association has been dedicated to researching and organizing exhibitions on portrait paintings, making efforts to make the genre of portrait painting more familiar. This exchange exhibition is a significant occasion where two organizations that have nurtured seeds of artistic creation in different regions come together to share artistic passion and reflections on humanity through 'Portraits of Coexistence between Humans and Nature.'

Kim Jung-ah, the president of the Jeonbuk Portrait Artists Association, expressed hope that the meeting of artists from the two regions with passion for art and compassion for people will be a place for mutual communication. Park Jae-yong, the representative of the Ulsan Portrait Artists Association, conveyed his expectation that this exhibition will be a starting point for expanding cooperation and exchanges among portrait artists in the Yeonghonam region.
