In the 1980s, there was a mixture of Western painting techniques and oriental painting techniques that emphasized the beauty of margins as the contrast between water droplets projected brilliantly and sun-dried stains on the rough surface of the horse.
This work is the artist's artistic starting point and the world of work as he moves toward the truth of inner purification and samra-everything, which embodies a deep insight into the meaning of human existence.
Artist Kim Chang-yeol, who expressed the work of drawing water droplets as "an act to dissolve everything into water droplets and return to nothing," became a world-class master with his water drop painting, the crystalline water droplet of the art spirit that implies the spirit of Eastern philosophy.
