What do we see in this poster - Longing for Knowledge?
This wall painting "Longing for Knowledge" printed on a poster by the Korean artist Misun Kim shows a motif all too familiar to us in the unmistakable Asian-classical style. The theme that Ms. Kim chose for her wall painting is represented by many small elements. First, our eyes fall on probably the most striking object in the artwork. The melon has a special meaning in the Asian region. The round shape of the fruit stands for cohesion and family, while the depicted seeds symbolize fertility. The melon stands on a small table, under which a vase and some drawers are hidden. In fact, the theme of drawers runs through a large part of the picture and symbolizes the urge for knowledge. Finally, we also see the motif of the lotus flower, which is meaningful worldwide but especially in the Asian-Oriental region. It symbolizes purity, enlightenment, regeneration, and rebirth. All elements in the wall painting show the core aspects of human nature, depicted through Ms. Kim's unique painting style.
