About the Artwork
While studying in France and also upon the first few years following his return to Korea, Dae Ho Guk produced abstract color paintings where different color dimensions were placed in parallel. After this phase, he gradually moved on to presenting delicate and subtle 'in-between colors'. The works were based on his strenuous exploration of 'colors' as a connecting link.
