  desc: Han Bong-deok (1924-1997) was born in Yeongbyeon, Pyeongan Province (present-day North Korea) and educated in Changchun (Sinje Art School) in today’s northern China during the Japanese occupation period (1910-1945). Han, who had worked as a middle school teacher for fine arts in his hometown Yeongbyeon, moved to South Korea during the Korean War (1950-1953). There he took up employment as a teacher and later worked for The Chosun Ilbo newspaper company as an illustrator while persistently developing his career as an artist. He initiated and organized an exhibition for contemporary artists (Hyeondae Jakga Chodaejeon) that was held several times from 1957, creating a platform for progressive artists like Kim Chang-ryeol and Pak seo-bo, and exhibiting several of his own abstract expressionist works. In 1972, he was invited to exhibit at a Gallery in Stockholm, Sweden. After that, he remained in Sweden continuously producing artworks and exhibiting in solo shows not only in Sweden but also in Denmark. He also worked as a lecturer for East Asian studies at Stockholm University. After he spent more than a decade living in Sweden, he returned to South Korea. In the later years of his career, Han Bong-deok came to include themes such as romantic love, the beauty of nature and Buddhist faith in his art and put an emphasis on a symbolic way of depiction expressed through a calligraphic style of brushwork and a wide spectrum of vivid colours. The above-described calligraphy is a work of this later period of Han Bong-deok’s career. @en
