An artist essay 'Drawing ' contributed by Shin Jang-sik to the January 1995 issue of SPACE (Arts & Architecture & Environment) magazine. Following his earlier '' series, the artist describes turning toward 'the vitality of nature' as a subject and arriving at Mt. Geumgang — drawing inspiration from the iconography of Jeong Seon, Korean folk paintings, and Kim Gyu-jin's Mt. Geumgang painting at Huijeongdang Hall (Changgyeonggung), while also addressing the nation's longing for a mountain made inaccessible by division. The essay is accompanied by an English translation by Park Hyun-Joo, and the magazine's cover features Shin's 〈Mt. Geumgang〉 (1994, paper and acrylic on canvas).
