In Han-Sol Gwon’s painting, dream and hope are harmonized with the future-oriented bright-
ness and richness as if they are one heart. His painting has the shadow of hope and richness
that give power to the life in which emptiness and loneliness overlap. So his painting seems to
contain love. Like this, secret monologue composed of beautiful love is far from self-display
or insistence. This monologue sublimated into the affluent form, especially the most beautiful
shape of love in the painting.
Therefore the artist spreads out a series of his paintings centering around the concept ‘Richness
and Love’. It is distinct that the process in which an image is made through the arrangement of
lines and dots and also the image symbolizes the illusion of ‘color and dot becoming love’ is an
excellent motif which can create the image of painting more profoundly.

It is thought that he puts emphasis on the extensity and temporality on the basis of purity and
he has been concerned about the ‘fabrication’ and ‘extinction’ of life with the heart of love.
Especially he receives attention because he develops purity on the basis of Korean emotion and
seems to commune with nature.

Meanwhile, unconsciously communing with our traditionality through his innocent inner world,
he has silently painted by softly reflecting his inner world on the white paper. In this point of
view, innocent aesthetic formative sense related with the trace of love for life inherent in Han-
So l Gwon’s paintings can be said as the communion with the unconscious world.

I think that the illusionary images he creates in this communion are another living things head-
ing for different world over the new border. It is distinct that this artist who silently fills the
fictional life with clearness and love and also constantly unfolds the beautiful colors by drawing
repeatedly today tastes emotional pleasure through the various colors and shapes.

This artist who has his own remarkable screen organizing power and decoration sensibility
is opening a new formative road for ‘affluence of love’ through his own peculiar imaginative
power.
