Painter Yeong Geun Jeon spent most of childhood and youth days being surrounded by numerous works of great artist Hyuck Lim Jeon, his father. In this regard, it is very natural that Yeong Geun Jeon has become a painter like his father. Historically and practically, most sons of a great father have not in the spotlight under the shadow of their father. In contrast, Yeong Geun Jeon has made great achievements as a painter since he has already established his own dominion of art. Of course, he resembles his father in that both of them have kept at a distance from the central painting circles and never indulged in temporary vogues. His initial works simplify all objects on a canvas while recent ones use brilliant colors to describe Korean traditional patterns in his unique manner and various episodes experienced in his early days. In particular, ‘a magic box’ created in 2006 by Yeong Geun Jeon’s is characterized by its profound philosophy as well as its unique colors, composition and suggestive meanings, all of which have been never attested in any other works of his. Jeon’s gorgeous works are more than a good reason why everybody in the world will surely keep an eye on his future career.
