Tourist Map of Pyongyang
In November 2019, Koryo Studio held the launch of the Tourist Map Of Pyongyang (2019) — an intricately detailed hand-drawn panorama inspired by artist Gareth Fuller’s experience as an artist visiting the North Korea’s capital.
Gareth Fuller’s artworks are available as a special signed edition of 1,000 affordable silkscreen prints with a view to making the work more accessible to those outside the art world’s usual circles.
There are also a limited number of special edition coloured prints available Fuller is certainly an artist worth following and his work is very collectable. Please contact us for more details of the pieces we have available.

Details
Arch of Triumph
The Arch of Triumph is usually the first sight people are taken to on the drive to the city from the airport. It also offers incredible vistas from its rooftop viewing platform.
Mount Paektu
This mountain is actually situated on the Chinese-North Korean border, and nowhere near Pyongyang. However, it features prominently in the country’s propaganda, mythology and symbolism. FULLER’s drawing places Paektu and its stories at the very top of the artwork
Pyongyang Ice Rink
The biggest indoor ice rink in North Korea would also prove to be one of FULLER’s favourite buildings in the city — an eccentric structure on the bank of the Pothong River that stands to attention on a flat open space.
Party Foundation Monument
Opened in 1995 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of North Korea’s ruling party, a huge hammer, brush and sickle are held aloft by three giant hands.
“What struck me immediately was the alignment of this spot with the Mansu Hill Grand Monument” – FULLER
