[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Heeyoon] An exhibition by painter Kim Byung-jong, who has been singing nature and life on canvas, is being held at Seojin Art Space in Pildong, Seoul until the 26th.

Seojin Art Space announced on the 14th that it is hosting Kim Byung-jong's inaugural commemorative invitational exhibition titled "Song of Life."

Painter Kim Byung-jong, a representative Korean artist of the 21st century, is an artist who translates the poetry of life into beautiful colors on canvas. Lee O-young, the first Minister of Culture, shortly before his passing, described Kim Byung-jong as "a painter who writes the poetry of life with vigorous brushstrokes and beautiful colors, like a flying fish leaping out of the water."

Kim's representative works include the "Foolish Jesus" series, "Latin Painting Album Journey," and the "Song of Life" series. The aesthetic consciousness that forms the foundation of all his works is "life."

The artist's works are characterized by a harmonious blend of Eastern and Western beauty, while simultaneously reinterpreting traditional Eastern spirit in a modern way. In this exhibition, the artist presents the "Song of Life" series and the "Pungjuk" series, which express the dignity and beauty of life.

More than 20 pieces are exhibited, including "Song of Life: Hwaho Landscape," "Song of Life," "Life Landscape," "Song of Life April," "Life Tree Landscape," "Song of Life, Songhwa Bunbun," "Song of Life, Hwacheun," and "Pungjuk." All the works presented this time are composed of the artist's recent creations.

Among the "Song of Life" series, "Hwaho Landscape" depicts the moment when life bursts into full bloom. The red flower positioned at the center of the canvas symbolizes the pupil of life and represents strong vitality, capturing the viewer's attention.

Painter Kim Byung-jong said, "I tried to transfer the hearts of flowers and trees and the conversations shared through the eyes of birds onto the canvas," and explained, "('Pungjuk' and 'Song of Life, Songhwa Bunbun') are works expressing the dreamy movement of pine pollen I saw in my childhood and the feeling of the bamboo grove swaying under the moonlight."
