Hi,

I'm looking for more information about the artist Puuung. It's not necessarily 'urban' art as in graffiti tho, so I doubt if this is a good place to ask. But, lets try.

You can see some examples of her work here:

pulptastic.com/korean-artist-beautifully-illustrates-real-love/

I'm looking for info as to where to buy anything she makes, being it screenprints, illustrations, canvasses, whatever...I tried searching myself but as she's Korean most sites I end up on are pretty unreadable to me

Perhaps someone knows more here. If you do, please shoot! Either in this topic or by PM.

Hi guys,

I'm going to seoul for 10 days

I am looking for your good addresses hotel, restaurant, shop and gallery

thx !

[Cutkillavince]

I would recommend few areas for art and galleries.
First you can visit Samcheon-Dong/Insadong (there are a lot of galleries, Perrotin is also there), it's nice area, you can easily spend a full day walking around.
Then I would also advise to spend time in Hongdae and if you have time, a walk in Iwha dong (Iwha Mural Village) is always very nice

Below are some links with more addresses, hope this helps,

Used to live there but a while ago. All depends what your budgets are. You’ll have no problem finding good local restaurants as they’re everywhere. Just bring a phrase book, a bit of courage and a point at the pictures. They’re not that veggie friendly if that’s needed! Try going to Jong No Sam Ga for wall to wall neon blocks of restaurants and hofs (pubs).

Art wise, try Apgujong / Chongdam for the more upmarket Opera galleries. Insadong has some good local arts and crafts. For a more bohemian area try Hongdae. I’d avoid Itaewon, which is the waeguk (foreigner) hub.

Hotelwise, again depends on your budget as all the big chains are there or gamble on a local ‘love’ motel!

Drop me a message if you want any more detailed qs.

Here's another link with some nice art galleries

theartling.com/en/artzine/2017/08/31/city-art-guide-seoul/

You can also go to Garosu-Gil, it's a nice area with beautiful shops and there's also Fifty Fifty gallery nearby

thx guys

Was there a while ago - great city, I prefer it to Tokyo personally.

One of the only galleries I went to was the Leeum Samsung gallery - some great permanent installations. Obviously the DDP Design Plaza is worth checking out, especially if you're into architecture. Another place was D Museum which had a great show on when I was there.

Food-wise I stayed strictly mid range.

Gusto Taco is probably the best Mexican in Seoul.
Wood and Brick was good and is around a fairly cultural area worth checking out.
Isaac Toast was a super basic toasted sandwich place where I think part of the draw is just watching them make it for you.
Kyoja is an authentic Korean eatery. Definitely the type of place where you stick out (if you're not Asian/Korean) but great value and very tasty.
Ewha Womens University is another great/unique piece of architecture I'd recommend.
Mealtop is a popular shaved ice place. Not bad.

Yeah I ate a lot.

As for bars I mainly went out with friends there and just went with the flow so can't remember the names of any of them. A good area was Hongdae. It's a uni area and a lot of the bars are busy with a great atmosphere and have cheap drink deals to cater towards the students. Also a lot of clubs with posters outside detailing how I'm now too old to go in. Probably a good thing.

As mentioned where you stay of course is budget dependant. I stayed at Big Door Small House, which is a modern, minimalist and no frills hotel. Pretty good price and great location to get around from.

Damn, wish I was going too!

where to find bearbrick ? no medicom toy shop in korea

[Cutkillavince]

You can find Bearbricks at Kinki Robot, there's one in Gangnam, one in Lotte Tower and I think one in Hongdae

Hongdae is the place to be if you are under 35.

[tonio88]

I really like the Lotte L7 at Myeong Deong which is really convenient.

[Villain Dillon]

This show looks incredible! I don't see many people discuss Jean's work here, but from what I've seen, his current exhibition that just opened in Seoul looks stunning. Humongous works on canvas, sculptures, an intricate and beautiful stained glass piece, drawings, and a video component as well.

Does anyone here live in Seoul and plan on visiting the show?

Sculptures are impressive. Hope they're sold online.

His paintings don't include the thing that he's known for: humor. And he's not a good enough painter to do well on images of hikers and surfers.

[orchid]

He's lost his edge and humour with the sentimental schmaltzy postcard scenes in the last few years. Shame.
