<The Founder of Mongheonjugihoa ‧ Beokgang - Ryu, Chang Hee>
 
  Beokgang(blue and clear river) Ryu Chang Hee, who is a painter, is the founder of Mongheonjugihoa(the way to paint the power of universe in canvas by dream). Mongheonjugihoa is the way to describe the power of universe harmoniously in canvas by shaping dreams. Furthermore, Beokgang developed unique perspective through percolation and pervasion with Baere technique(the figure of skin which lights up softly at the lower part of sleeves of Hanbok Jeogori-korean traditional jacket-). Baere technique emerges as a part of framework in his works. Beokgang's works are creating folksy and traditional sense of beauty with his own feeling of color by utilizing five colors which are Korean traditional colors and represent Yin-Yang and five elements.

  Beokgang Ryu Chang Hee has refused formulaic and fixed world. Instead, he has restructured and transformed the object. His world of art works which uses unique colors and mixes strongness and softness exquisitely with lively and delicate brushstroke has changed in the meantime. His world of art is divided into approximately seven steps .

  First step is the time of 'Breakaway' when he started change of thought and transformation of consciousness to represent mental inner world. In second step, which is 'Dream' step, he mainly began the work to transcend the concept of time and space in earnest. In other words, the sun and the moon emerge together and close-range view and distant view mingle. In third step, which is 'Coexistence', he emphasized making harmony by developing and complementing colors. From fourth step, which is 'Samsara' step, Beokgang started to contain three lifes(previous life, present life, and after life) which is the meaning of Buddhist time by appearing three-story stone pagoda. Especially, he used to use fundamental expressional elements on canvas in three dimensions. Fifth step, which is 'Udumbara' step, was the time of reconstitution by expressing natural scene into unique flowers. In sixth step, which is 'Ficus racemosa' step, he expanded Baere technique that he created by making feeling of mural with whitewash(white powder made by clam powder). In last and latest step, which is 'Sumeru' step, the component of his works became elaborate and the color became splendid. With these changes, he tried multidimensional instruction of sense.
 

  In Beokgang's works, dream functions as eliciting and leading inspiration, but actually the main part of painting is the energy of universe. Become the condition of ease and happiness by recovering and healing soul and body, and enjoying and sharing the pleasure of life entirely by regaining the power or the ability to work would be new concept of health that the twenty-first century must aim. The painting of Beokgang contains exactly the new concept of health and is making healing pieces. Through dream, painting extensive, grand, and cosmical energy of healing is 'Mongheonjugihoa', and both painter and appreciator can feel the strong flow of power in painting.
