West meets East - 2010
The painting gained international prominence when it was selected to represent Belgium—then holding the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union—in a high-profile exhibition.
Jan Theuninck is a Belgian contemporary artist known for his abstract and symbolic paintings that often explore themes of cultural fusion, spirituality, and global interconnectedness. His style blends Western artistic traditions with Eastern influences, making West Meets East a fitting emblem for the event: The 5th G20 Summit took place in Seoul from November 11–12, 2010 .Exhibited at the Art Hall of the Korea Press Center from November 8–14, 2010, it represented Belgium and the EU's contribution to the festival. As a host, South Korea organized parallel cultural initiatives to promote global dialogue beyond economics, including art exhibitions involving G20 member countries and the European Union (EU).
West Meets East symbolizes the convergence of Eastern and Western cultures and the exhibition highlighted art's role in diplomacy, bridging divides during a pivotal global economic forum.
