요약정보

Most photographers capture their subjects on land‚ but photographer Chang Nam-won had to go underwater to capture his.
Chang spent five years underwater documenting the lives of a group of humpback whales living around Vava'u Island‚ located 1‚900-kilometers from New Zealand.
His photographs of these gentle giants are now on display at Lotte Gallery in Seoul.
The whales‚ which weigh more than 30 tons‚ are very sensitive to sound‚ so Chang needed to be extra fast when pressing the shutter button.
But despite this and other challenges‚ Chang said that whenever he locked eyes with the whales‚ he felt as if he had the whole world in his hands.
[Interview : Chang Nam-won‚ Photographer] "I felt a sense of connection with the whales‚ we met underwater and just kept each other company."
There is another series of unlikely figures at Gallery Santorini in Seoul.
Marilyn Monroe makes an appearance in Shin Yoon-bok's "Samchugayeon‚" which is about prostitution during the Joseon Dynasty.
In another painting‚ Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa is wowed by a flying plane.
For the exhibition "A Matter of Time‚" a group of Korean artists recreates iconic works by major figures in art‚ from Andy Warhol to Da Vinci to Millet and Van Gogh.
The exhibition aims to reinterpret classic works of art for a modern audience and promote understanding.
[Interview : Roh Kyung-hee‚ Curator
Gallery Santorini‚ Seoul] " it would be nice to see a masterpiece that is seemingly hard to relate to‚.. reinterpreted into a more moving story by modern artists."
Through the creativity and imagination of these young artists‚ viewers will be able to see both past and present and Eastern and Western cultures come together in these paintings. Michelle Kim‚ Arirang News
