Forest is a familiar natural space for writers who have worked on arithmetic, and at the same time a secret inner space that retains the secrets of life. In the exhibition, the artist will showcase works that expand the reasons for ink painting through various landscapes where "night" unfolds. The large exhibition space of over 200 pyeong transforms itself into a forest of night at the border of reality and imagination.

The author has emphasized the inclusiveness of ink, taking away the elements of the pen, one of the important ingredients in ink painting. In particular, he repeatedly conducted experiments to find rough objects in everyday life in the city that can replace brushes and invite them to the world of ink and ink. Sometimes cold and heavy metal material is temporarily loaded into ink and glides on soft, thin paper, and at that very moment the forest of night quietly opens the door and reveals itself. And with him, the time of physical darkness becomes the time of 'bright' reasons, the time of dreams, and the time of fairy tales.
The exhibition, which pays attention to the value of healing as a modern interpretation of the spirit of arithmetic, is expected to provide us with the opportunity to experience the time of rest and healing to prepare for a new time of anxiety and danger with Corona 19.
