Artist Kim Soung-Ho called the "Painter of Light" is working on the subject of the dawn of the city. The unique technique of achieving exquisite harmony across conception and abstraction added abstraction by using the technique of blurring with a knife in the root. The work completed in this way depicts a sensuous and lyrical landscape with a contrast between light and darkness at night and early in the morning. The scenery with the city's wavering night view creates a contradictory atmosphere, such as peace and calm, dynamism and bustle of dawn, and impresses the visitors.
Through the subject of dawn, familiar images in reality are captured to form a consensus, and on the contrary, it provides an artistic image that creates unfamiliar emotions. The night view in the city center created by the colorful lights is romantic, but the loneliness that flows calmly in it is in contact with the urbanites with the identity of silence in the pongyo. This screen is an expression of the city center and the lives of people in the city center who rest at the boundary between night and day.
