Cheol Wong Shim

In the backyard of the artist's house, there was an orange tree that looked more than 50 years old. The tree that had spent a long time with him had dried out and began to drop its barks. These barks are the main subject of artist Cheol-woong Sim's painting series. The Images of barks, which are plain but not simple seem to reveal our lives metaphorizing human body. Careful brushstrokes of oil paint are added to the white background, allowing viewers to look into the existence of the bark itself.
