Sketching has always been an important source of inspiration for Song Seung-Ho. Every trip he takes to Jeju Island, the upright pine trees on the Hallasan that always profoundly attracted him to draw the glamour gesture of the pine trees and the swaying shadow of the wind blowing, it felt like a smooth conversation with old friends, appear vividly on the painting through brush and ink. The year-end of 2017, Song Seung-Ho with his mother to sort out the yellowed pictures in the cabinet, meanwhile, his mother remembers his father had said:” at that time, I inherited neither land nor houses, but hundreds of pine trees…” The moment he heard this, he contemplated if the pine trees bring up the deep connection with him? To wear his long hair in a bun, leisurely among the pine trees, the inspiration of Song Seung-Ho is everywhere around. He chooses the traditional Korean paper and more than 60 years old ink to paint, the stable old paper and the thick old ink make the expression between the light and shadow of the picture and the space subject more suitable and fluent. Distant mountain, emerald pine, setting sun, boulder, withered pine and the wreathed mist, he can always express the emotion completely with Chinese brush painting. ​ When I appreciate the paint, watching the spring light streaming, the wind comes rustle, the picture imagines like Song Seung-Ho said to the pine tree: “I’ve been watching you under the tree”, the kind of the romance that forgetting everything, the upright branches and the lush foliage of the pine trees seems to be responding to the throbbing of each other’s encounter.
