Daejeon's Lee Ungno Museum presents 'Dance: The Rhythm of Brush and Body' from October 13 to November 29, 2026. The show draws on Ungno Lee's 1977 'Dance Painting Exhibition' in Seoul. The museum explains that the earlier presentation included around 50 works depicting human and animal movement, group dancing and several forms of dance.
Lee was interested less in reproducing exact choreography than in capturing speed and physical rhythm. The museum notes that he enjoyed ballet performances and sketched dancers' arms and legs in rapid strokes. The movement of the artist's own hand and arm becomes part of what remains on paper, connecting the brushwork of calligraphy with the language of modern abstraction.
The current exhibition listing gives opening hours as 10 a.m.–7 p.m. The venue is the Lee Ungno Museum, 157 Dunsan-daero, Seo-gu, Daejeon, and its telephone number is 042-611-9800. The exhibition-specific admission fee and exceptional closure dates were not clearly confirmed from the pages reviewed, so check before visiting.
