The atmosphere is relaxed and calm. However, there is a deep, long-lasting resonance. Among the many opinions towards CHUNGNAM (Chungcheongnam-do province) that are often mentioned about this province, include locals' signature relaxed behavior and tone, and their honesty. Such signs are also seen in the exhibition UNEXPECTED TIME IN HOMETOWN, which Arario Gallery has exhibited to look at the major trends of modern and contemporary art in CHUNGNAM, with a focus on the gallery's permanent collection. This exhibition, which covers works from the 1950s to recent works, is an attempt to present various concerns that were revealed in the flow of time from modern to contemporary times through the process of development, starting with Korea's early painting traditions, expanding into Western painting and sculpture, and then moving on to photography and videos.
