    Art Description:

    This work is an oriental brush writing using a cursive style letter. Oriental brush writing is only expressed with ink and brush on paper, and while the ingredients are so simple, this writing contains the beauty of formativeness and rhythm and can express a writer's personality and psychology. It also does not draw specific objects, but simply symbolic letter composed of dots, lines and strokes, and needs the writer's high imagination, so it can be called abstract.

    In the case of brush writing, it cannot be modified due to its characteristics, if a small ink drop is splashed or even one dot is wrong, it cannot be corrected and should be discarded and reworked from the beginning, also since this work is based on traditional paper, so more careful attention is needed than other works. 1 cursive style letter has various meanings.

    This letter pronounced as "yeon" has the meaning of upright, rectitude, look at myself and etc. The contradiction of reality is to mistake oneself for selfishness, greed and reckless ambition as a means of protecting oneself. But the last winner in life is an upright and honest person. Even in a cold, wild and selfish world, don't give up on our integrity, if we keep in mind it, we can be winner.

     

    Medium Used: Mixed Media and Acrylic on Canvas
