Kim Ji-Hwan is called as the artist of railways because he draws hope with eternally parallel.

The eternally parallel railways finally become one if they leave their space.

He thinks human’s life doesn’t have a beginning and an end.

That’s why his works show that endless selfish avarice and the desire to possess are meaningless.

The short light and long darkness; these are two only things which exist in the Tae-Baek’s sky. Its’ water and land are black.

The eternally parallel railways are the only connection and he draws future hope on it.

The artist Kim Ji-Hwan says, “Even my sole work can’t give hope to them, I want there to exist in my work forever. I don’t want there to be forgotten.”

Due to increasingly developing polishing drawing skills, many artists draw plan paining with materials and tools.

However, he sticks to traditional pictures drawn with knife using knife and dyes on the canvas.

Especially, it is his original technique to express not nonrepresentational painting but representational painting with knife instead of brush.

The artist Kim Ji-Hwan compares picture and woman while drawing.

1st: make up – Woman looks prettier when she puts on makeup. So does the painting. It looks more beautiful with color.

2nd: clothes – Fine feathers make fine birds. In case of plane painting, you have to choose frame which suits for it.

3rd: illumination – As mood is affected by situations, choosing illumination is important.

If you draw your painting only with brush, the illumination won’t affect your work.

However, in case of knife painting, illumination has a great effect on the texture of the painting.

The only alternative plan for rapidly developing new things is the most traditional things.

The artist Kim Ji-Hwan’s works always set people’s dream, joy and sorrows as witnesses.

Our past often overlap with someone poor or something to regret.

But it’s not abandonment but step stone for a new hope.

Like the railways which go same with same space not to go crisscross, the artist Kim Ji-Hwan is drawing now hoping his life’s start and end are same.
