Hur, who has been deeply intrigued by the ecological system of the coexistence of man and nature, has reacted fairly sensitively to the real world, and simultaneously maintains a positive perception.
His optimistic perspective is evidenced through the frequent appearance of horses, screens adorned with fluorescent colors and the attempt at combining the past memories with the present.
As argued, a horse is the most representative animal, of what is dynamic and nomadic. In Hur’s(ARTIST HUR JIN,許塡,허진 작가,한국화가 허진,HUR JIN,허진 교수,허진 화백,A Painter HUR JIN)paintings, the horse serves as a symbol of hope, also as a type of evidence and possibility for communication.
