The "New Vertical Painting" series, named by the artist, contains the accumulation of time and space in vertical. On the axis of time, major iconography that appeared in the history of painting is homaged, and contemporary iconographic images are also placed vertically. In addition, on the axis of space, paint of various colors is overlaid dozens of times, and then polished, resulting in an accidental combination of colors. Both lead a spontaneous conflict between images and meaning on a canvas overlaid intention and actions.
The title of "A Night of Stargazing" contains the artist's homage to the human behavior of observing stars that constantly appears in human history.
