Enjoy Photography of Jeju Island!
Kim Young-gab Gallery “Domoak” is a place remodeled of “Samdal Bungyo”. This is the only place where you can meet the photographs of the artist Kim Young-gap, who has devoted for life to photograph the island of Jeju. For the past 20 years, Kim Young-gap, who has abandoned everything and captured all parts of Jeju, including Oreum, Middle Mountain, Marado, In his photographs, you can feel the wind, sunshine and air temperatures of those days.
At the entrance of the gallery, there is a outdoor garden that gardened by himself at the time of the Lou Gehrig's battle. The walkways and flower beds made up of the stones of Jeju can be used as outdoor exhibitions of other artists or concerts hall held in the open spaces on the left side of the gallery building.
This place gives a postcard made by Kim Young-gap's photograph instead of a normal ticket. The long postcard is more attractive than any other entry ticket. Many works by Kim Young-gab are panoramic photographs, which are effective in highlighting the trees and ascents on the boundary between the sky and the earth.
The inside exhibition hall is divided into the “Hanal Oreum” and the “Dumoak”. The Hanal Oreum has a photo of the wind.
Sit on the table at the entrance of the exhibition hall and look out the window, the scenery becomes another picture. You can see the image of the enthusiasm of Kim Young-gap, who was unable to stop photography even during the battle. All the galleries are filled with the hot soul of an artist who has lived in Jeju and photography for a lifetime.
In addition, there is an auto cafe in the back of the gallery. It is good to feel the atmosphere of the gallery while having tea with a warming chat.
