The print is dispatched unframed and can be pinned to the wall using thin pins or framed in the traditional way.
In Korea, the rooster is traditionally an important symbol, believed to ward off all misfortune. In earlier times, when there were no clocks, the rooster would crow to herald the dawn, causing the wild, menacing creatures and evil spirits – which are only active at night – to flee.
Numerous small schools of fish express the wish for a healthy offspring, and the image of a carp leaping out of the water symbolises the hope for a successful pregnancy or passing exams.
*The size entered refers to the size of the lithographic paper, not the printed image.
Soyoung Park
: “I have a keen interest in traditional arts in general and find particular inspiration in traditional Korean folk art. I express this through Western painting techniques which I learnt during my training. On the one hand, this serves to ease my homesickness; on the other, because traditional folk art is often more than just aesthetic objects. It frequently contains primal and symbolic elements that reflect the rich cultural history of a people and serve as a source of inspiration for me. The figures in my works are created through exaggeration, distortion and abstraction. Through my art, I tell stories about my origins, my dreams or even the story of a third person. I use various materials and techniques, as I select the most suitable media and formats depending on the theme in order to convey the content I have created in the best possible way."
