About
Author Kim Byung-jong, who has been consistent for more than 30 years with perhaps the most common theme of "life" and the source of Samra and man. Whether he painted Jesus or the young saint, the baby fire, the empires, people all over the world, or any other landscape, the real spirit is the stories of life. It may be considered interesting that a free and lively form comes from him, who is thorough and normative enough to be a perfectionist in everything. However, those who are close to him are fully aware of Dowseong, where such a sculpture comes out.
If you know him with a generous heart and a full heart of lyricism, you will clearly his work. In fact, his true character would be more of a humanist and a romantic. His writings and paintings are based on such a basis. The writings and paintings that are imbued in this way move people and empathize.
The author who turned the traffic light on the modernization of Korean painting, the author who went through the unanswered path with the passion of flame, could not have easily seen the "internal oil" hidden under the "foreign river" because he was already evaluated like that in his 30s. Free thinking, contemplation that puts the source of life in the mind, and so the brush is active in the state of Mubong, and the springy lyric flows through the screen. He is leading our Korean flower group today, pursuing endless compassion and love for life, one work, and more. Just as a master or master is a standard or a method, his work also shows that level. His formations, which make him see things that cannot be seen with the naked eye and realize the providence of a mysterious life, show the maximum point that art can reach.
The landscapes he has been showing recently are the bird's-eye view of life that flows like water and wind. These are the languages of Jeolchang, which sing the traces of yesterday and the phenomena of today with a desperate singing method. It is also the reason why his work attracts a lot of attention from abroad. Korean art's challenge to the world stage, Kim Byung-jong, is in front of him.
