My solo exhibition was featured on the culture page in the Korea Daily today.
New York Painter Kira Greene’s Solo Exhibition
Painter Nam Kira (American name Kira Greene) is having a solo exhibition “Feastiality”(photo of the work on the right) at A.I.R. Gallery (111 Front Street) in Dumbo, Brooklyn since 28th of last month.
Ms. Nam (Greene) depicts the role of women in different cultures by combining sensuous images of food and patterns used in textile, fashion and interior. Ms. Nam (Greene) graduated from Seoul National University (majoring in International Relations), and immigrated to the United States in 1989. She received MFA from School of Visual Arts. The exhibition continues until 23rd. Link: www.kiragreene.com.
I am a Korean-American painter living in New York city. I started this blog as a food blog, intending to share recipes (often requested by friends, as I am known to be a pretty good cook among my friends) and occasional restaurant reviews. As many of my Korean friends point out, all Koreans are obsessed about food (including me). I love shopping, making, looking at and reading about food, too. Food is my porn. Even my art is about food. Over the years, however, the blog evolved into sharing more of the things that interest me at the moment; classical music (especially opera), theater, books, French language, political and cultural ideas, and of course, food. I am also writing about the exhibitions that I am involved in as well as other exhibition reviews. In the end, I hope that I am showing my engagement as an artist with the society and the culture in general. Hopefully, some of it interests you, too.
