Kim Myung-Sik Exhibition – Opening Event

＜15:00 – Opening Gallery Remarks＞
Thank you very much for taking the time to attend the Kim Myung-Sik Exhibition today.
This marks the fifth time we have held a special exhibition with Mr. Kim.
In our previous exhibition in March 2020, we had planned a live painting session, but unfortunately, it could not be realized due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was a great disappointment at the time. However, this time, Mr. Kim has traveled all the way from Korea, and we are truly delighted to finally be able to hold the long-awaited live drawing event.
At this point, we would like to invite the artist, Mr. Kim Myung-Sik, to say a few words.
Mr. Kim, please go ahead.

Brief introduction before the live painting begins: until 1 minute 49 seconds
(Since the audio is difficult to hear, please refer to the explanation below.)

　　I will now show the process of painting.
　　It takes time for the painting to dry.
　　I will use a painting knife as my tool.
　　This knife is treated as a weapon, so I cannot bring it on a plane.
　　I knead the oil paint on the palette before using it.
　　I will paint around four houses.
