Kim Ki-chang began his training as an artist at the age of 16, making his debut at the Chosun Drawing exhibition in 1931. Over the following years he participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions, both in Korea and in Europe, for example at the Oriental Museum in Switzerland in 1977, or at the Musée Sernice in Paris. His style recovers elements of oriental culture, which he treats in a new way. In this case the artist chooses the calligraphic motif as the central axis of the composition, traced in black on a background of intense red, a color of high symbolic value in the Eastern world, associated with power and vital essence.
