Prints
Printmaking is the other pillar of the artist's practice alongside painting. The 1989 Grand Prize-winning 〈Arirang — A Joyful Day〉 was a woodblock print, followed by the Patron's Prize at the 1st Sapporo International Print Biennale (1991) and Second Prizes at the 4th and 5th Wakayama International Print Biennales (1991, 1993). In 1992, he showed his work in 〈Encountering the Others〉, an international group exhibition held at the University of Kassel — extending his practice onto an international stage. Spanning thirty years of woodblock prints, etchings, and digital prints, he served as president of the Korean Contemporary Printmakers Association from 2017 to 2019.
