- Media Mixed media on canvas
- Location LOTTE HOTEL SEOUL EXECUTIVE TOWER 1F
The work "Blossom", a bright flower in a elegant moon jar containing the expression of "Korean sweet persimmon," shows the typical Western still-life painting and the 21st century branding that reinterprets the essence of Korean white porcelain on canvas and Korean paper.
"Blossom" is the most splendid cycle of nature that blooms just before death to give rise to new life.
With the gentle moon jar of the Joseon baekja with Korean sentiment and the plum flower, a symbol of the spirit of the scholar, the moon jar expresses traditional and modern sympathy through the Korean paper's Korean paper assistance technique, which even contains the hearts of the ancestors.

About the author
Artist Chon Byung-hyun (1957~) won the grand prize in succession at the 1st and 2nd Korean Art Exhibition (1982) and showed various spectrums of work throughout his time studying at the National Art School in Paris.
The artist, who has built traditional and modern empathy into an original creative world through the painting industry for more than 40 years, incorporated Korean traditional culture Hanji, which was recognized for its 1,000-year preservation, into contemporary art based on the possibility of margins inherent in traditional art amid fundamental questions about humans.
The artist's pseudonym, the moon of the night sky, "SSak0,(朔空)" which is filled when it is cold and tilted and filled, is a symbol of his will to live as a "moon painter" who draws the "nature of the circulating world" in "filling and emptying."
