[Asia Economy Reporter Donghyun Choi] Heo Hoetae, the founder of 'Emography,' which combines traditional calligraphy and modern abstract painting techniques, will hold a solo exhibition at Gallery 'Ease' in Insadong, Jongno-gu, Seoul, from the 16th to the 29th of next month.

The theme of the exhibition is 'The Flower Path of Reflection.' It is said to express through art the mindset most needed by humans during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Prior to this exhibition, the world-renowned art critic Tatiana Rosenstein visited Heo's studio located in Bangbae-dong, Seocho-gu, Seoul, from Germany to critique his works. Tatiana praised Heo's 'Emo Sculpture,' which uniquely and three-dimensionally expresses the vortex of life. 'Emo Sculpture' is a fusion of emotion and sculpture, consisting of three-dimensional sculptures directly written with brushes conveying the philosophical messages of Heo.

Heo focuses on continuously creating emotional and symbolic intrinsic values that convey images and stories in generating his artworks. Among them, his artistic world, derived from the primordial phenomena of the universe and life, has expanded through works such as 'The Birth of Great Life,' 'The Flower of Life,' 'The Heart's Resonance,' and 'The Flower Path of Reflection.'

After majoring in Korean painting at the Graduate School of Formative Arts at Sangmyung University, Heo won the grand prize at the Korea Art Exhibition and served as a judge and operations committee member. He currently serves as the director of the Musan Calligraphy Emography Research Institute and as a distinguished professor at the College of Fine Arts, Yanbian University.
