UNJournal Jon Lee | Seok Chang-woo's experience, symbol of the noble will with which adversity and hardship were overcome Artist Seok Chang-woo give clear messages in all his works every time. It is an expression of willingness in regard to life. It seems as if all kinds of difficulties and ordeals are ‘gifts the recipients a sense of accom-plishment even at times of adversity and hardship."

 

Perhaps it is closer to the real meaning that "new hope" suddenly rises.

 

 

Artist Seok is often given the title of "Korea's No. 1 Euisu Painter."

 

This is because he lost both arms when he was 29 years old when he was working as an electrician in an electric shock accident of 20,000 volts during field work.

 

But for him, physical disability is not shame.

 

Rather, he says that the 30 years of life that he has lived along the path of a painter after the accident were more precious and happier than the 30 years before the electric shock accident when his arms were intact.

 

He says: “The confident act of wearing a sleeveless shirt that reveals the prosthetic arm, or the free-spirited brushwork that shows the prosthetic arm with a brush on the hook, naturally gives me energy.”

 

 

The positive belief that "even the hard times spent entering ink painting and pioneering a new genre of ink croquis due to accidents are God's providence and the planned journey of life" is the central point of completing a confident world of work.

 

Painter Seok is drawing great attention for completing his own unique writing style to the extent that it is considered that "Ilpilhwiji is an expression for Seok Chang-woo."

 

Perhaps there are few writers who can enjoy playing with a brush and ink.

 

The key to the Oriental black ink croquis is "the quickness to capture the essential characteristics and energy of the object that changes its appearance countless times in a short time."

 

It is not easy to do it with a brush that is difficult to operate at will.

 

 

However, Artist Seok is already a popular lacquerware artist who takes charge of the opening events of most domestic and foreign big events.

 

If you pick the most notable chang Winter Olympics, you can't miss Seok Chang-woo's drawing performance to wish for the success of the Olympics.

 

As such, Artist Seok has become an icon of "an artist with perfect demonstration skills who can achieve unity with the public."

 

In a moment, he had a mysterious talent for stealing the soul of the object, and became the object of everyone's awe and envy.

 

The scenes that demonstrated a scene of sports live on the spot are enough to attract numerous audiences and mass media.

 

In addition, the vividness of an athlete who breathes heavily conveys a special impression to the point where the body odor of the athlete is felt as it is.

 

Here, he can write a short message that will help you get the right posture in your life.

It represents an earnestness and a firm belief in life.

 

It is also the result of the artistic spirit that contains the sublime will of life.
