ARTIST NOTE
2018-01-10 Author`s Note-A brush

A brush 
opens a door 
to the world. A great 
variety of the mighty creates 
innumerable, infinite changes. 
One stroke with a brush prevails and 
animates completely everything in the world. 
Life takes shape as each energetic stroke wriggles its 
way. Coarse touches force out a warmth and passion on an entire 
painting embracing magnificent or trivial stories. Ink drops flourish into its 
subtle fragrance, rough strokes perform a variation eternally on life.  
painter conveys life suffering in a piece of art work. He writhes 
in lack of insufficient expression of sufferings, and 
thus keeps making strokes relentlessly.

2018-01-10 Author`s Note-Recently are summer days with fine beads of sweat broke out on brow

Recently are summer days with fine beads of sweat broke out on brow. 
A refreshing breeze in this season cools the body dripping wet with sweat. 
Earnest ink drops and strokes spread on a Chinese drawing paper draw out the nature and everyday life, and plant diverse expressions. 
It was more than pleasure to have had a great opportunity to be invited to a country with a different culture and thus to share and enjoy the beauty of the Korean alphabet Hangul and a variety of contemporary calligraphy works. I am truly expecting everyone to appreciate diverse expressions and innocent minds as well as the beauty of Hangul. 
In this hot season, a cool breeze is an ardent wish. An enthusiastic festivity with a brush becomes a fine breeze, that cools body and mind alike.
