Until today, Latin American art has been underestimated by European critics. Also, the 20th century Latin American art has been recognized as an art trend derived from Modernism of Western Europe or has imitated the Modernism.


Since Spain conquered Mexico in the early 1500s, European thought that Latin America culture and people was heterogeneous and this idea leads them to think that Latin culture is not their own creation. Nevertheless, these days European accept that this multicultural feature is the one of the characters of Latin Art and start believing that Latin art has strong messages of vitality, creativity, passion and so on.

With all those ideas, this exhibition will touch the soul of Gwang-Ju citizen by introducing them to Latin America art works, which are very bright and show new senses of ideas and creative shapes.
