'Muskia' committed suicide after claiming that the works of art that Jeon Hyun-moo had given him were hanging in the bathroom.
The 5th episode of KBS2's art variety show 'No Money, No Art', which aired on the 20th, featured a special feature on father artists who are also active as art writers and breadwinners of the family. Street artist Pale Mackerel - fashion-loving artist Seong Nak-jin - 'Smiling Tiger' Taewoo, an artist who draws ', and Jiyong, a financier, appeared. The four challenging artists of the day each presented works with a clear genre of their own, while at the same time creating a moving experience with an all-time 'live drawing show' that brought to life the drawings drawn by children with all their passion and passion.
First, Seong Nak-jin went on stage with art curator Bong Tae-gyu and unveiled ‘What Did I Buy Today’, a work with a trendy sensibility. Bong Tae-gyu mentioned the inflection point as an artist, saying, “If artist Seong Nak-jin drew pictures of men’s lifestyles before marriage, after marriage, he creates works containing messages about the ‘environment.’” In response, Seong Nak-jin said, “This is a painting that asks what we, living in an era of excessive consumption, will leave to the next generation.” He explained the ‘garbage bag’ on which the man is sitting in the painting, and drew sympathy by saying, “The meaning is wonderful.”
Next, Jiyong, a pin art artist who looks like Song Minho, paired up with Minkyung Kim. Jiyong introduced his signature series ‘FILLING-11’, saying, “This is a work that captures the comfortable memories of playing at the beach as a child.” MC Jeon Hyun-moo, who was looking at the work with as many as 20,000 pins, couldn't help but be impressed, saying, "It feels completely different when you see it up close." Afterwards, Jiyong shed tears while mentioning his difficult life of sleeping 3 to 4 hours a day, saying, “After becoming a father, I am living a ‘three job’ life due to the responsibility of protecting my family.” However, he soon received applause by appealing to his passion as a writer, saying, “It is only a prejudice to think that doing other things makes you negligent as a writer, and your passion for your work has only grown.”
Next, light green mackerel, a street artist living in Jeju Island, came out with Monica. The work presented by Light Green Mackerel on this day was 'MORE DAN SERIES Flower Viewing Day', and art collectors continued to admire and cheer for the gorgeous details that left them speechless. Green Mackerel explained the work as “a painting of people who came to enjoy the spring of Jeju Island.” In addition, Monica explained, “I personally visited the artist’s studio in Jeju Island, and unusually, the studio is a chicken restaurant,” which appealed to Jeon Hyun-moo and Kim Min-kyung, and also made art collectors salivate by revealing that their signature menu item was ‘bracken chicken.’ .
Lastly, Tae-Woo, who appeared in pairs with Gaeko, presented a landscape painting called 'I Will Protect', which contained all of his favorite elements, including the representative character 'Smiling Tiger'. Tae-Woo revealed the intention of the work, saying, “I hope that the ‘Smiling Tiger,’ depicted as a guardian who protects the home, can protect your home as well.” Gaeko said, “After artist Taewoo changed the subject of his paintings to family, he received more love, and all 200 paintings he painted last year were sold out. He added, “There is even an ‘open run’ to save the work,” emphasizing the value of owning it.
On this day, Jeon Hyun-moo asked the collector where he usually hangs the paintings he collects, and to the answer, “It depends on the work,” he replied, “All the paintings I draw are hung in the bathroom. “They say that when they look at my drawings, they get so irritated that they have a tendency to poop,” he said, causing laughter when he self-destructed.
Afterwards, the four artists held a 'Live Drawing Show', a time to showcase their working methods to art collectors. Before the full-scale performance began, a special video of each artist's children painting on canvas was released, filling the scene with a special exclamation. Immediately after MC Jeon Hyun-moo announced, “Today’s topic is ‘drawings by my children,’” the father artists sighed, saying, “If we cover our children’s drawings incorrectly, we will fail,” but they immediately focused on the 20 minutes of work and completed the work beautifully. did.
Jiyong, who scratched Yul's crayon drawing with water-based paint to give it a feel, said, "I wanted to create a comfortable and wide sea," and introduced 'The Sea Called Dad.' Seong Nak-jin continued to worry, saying, “My daughter So-yul really hates touching her paintings,” and then presented “Birth of a Family,” in which he transformed his daughter’s princess painting into a jacket pattern filled with memories of his wife. Tae-Woo aroused admiration with his ink-and-wash and color painting ‘Dongchun Flower Plant Drawing’, which reproduced the colors of Grimm. Light green mackerel drew a pen drawing on 6-month-old Danwoo's foot stamp and then completed a unique painting with paint spilled on the background, revealing 'Children in Arms', which represents three children held in the arms of their parents.
After applause poured in for the four works filled with love for children, Taewo's 'I'll Protect It' was selected as the final work to be auctioned through voting. Gaeko, the curator in charge who was the first to earn the badge, cheered, saying, “The ‘Smiling Tiger’ even protected me.” In the auction that was held in earnest, the work was ultimately sold for 10.7 million won after a two-way battle that took place at the same table. Tae-Woo, who had a meaningful meeting with a 'strong fan' collector who said, "I loved the author's story so much that I owned several of his works," expressed his thoughts, saying, "I will continue to work hard so that the person who collected it does not regret it."
