Marcello Barengi is a hyperrealist painter from Italy, who draws routine stuffs that can pass through everyday life, for instance fried eggs and bottles of cola, more real than they really are. His observation ability to analyze stuffs is so excellent, cell phone cameras recognize his food paintings as real food. About 100 works of common objects and foods are displayed at the exhibition, as well as paintings of specialties from Jeju Island, which are not published yet, are displayed, in commemoration of the world's first exhibition in Korea.
