ABOUT THE ARTWORK

My mother died of cancer two years after I went to prison when I was 27. It was not until six years later that I was able to visit my mother's grave. I am now 60. A few years ago, while watching a movie about the independence fighter and their mother under Japanese colonial rule in the theater, I covered my mouth and cried, thinking of my mother. This painting is a message of empathy and comfort for all grieving souls

In 2023, I published a book containing 30 of my works and 30 short essays. The title is ‘A Revolutionary Who Became a Painter’. This is a title that encapsulates my life. I am Korean, and entered the College of Engineering at Seoul National University in 1981. After opening my eyes to the social reality under military fascism, I naturally joined the student movement and later took the lead in the movement for democracy and social revolution in Korean society. I was eventually arrested for violating the National Security Act in 1990, sentenced to 13 years in prison, and was released after serving 8 years in prison. After working for a living, I started studying art to get my life back. All of my works reflect the musings and agony of my youth in prison. Anger at human society full of contradictions, despair and sadness at the absurdity of human existence, and still hope that cannot be given up. These are the messages of all my works.
