Overview

The artist's first solo exhibition on the theme of Tibet. Held in October 2007 at Moran Gallery (Insa-dong, Seoul), the show presented paintings drawn from a 2006-2007 journey with an art critic from Lhasa to Kathmandu. A companion book — 〈Five-Color Lungta and White Khata〉 — was published at the same time, pairing the artist's journey with the critic's essays.

Critic Choi Tae-man, in his essay 〈Tibet's Nature and Culture Rendered in Pure, Transparent Color〉, traced how the view of landscape Shin had cultivated through Mt. Geumgang extends into the light of another high plateau.
