Hong Seong-dam: May

The artist Hong-Song Hong-sung has been in a steady social engagement campaign for 38 weeks without ignoring the pain of the age, 4/3, 5/18 photo-democracy movement, and so on? The 18-based signs have been assembled to launch the Five/18 Cygnian Reservation Group. It was just one year in 2017 when the president, who was born as president of Park Park's candle-light revolution, promised to put the five/18 spirit into the Constitution. So 5/18 is still a history of progress. Many citizens have lost their lives crying out for democracy, and their families still live in pain. You're not just looking at the scene of a painful history, 5/18, but you're joining the civil forces, and you've got a series of paintings from an artist who was all over his body in May 1980? 18 is so extraordinary that it comes in. The 50-point print of ordinary citizens' faces that have been kept all over the world in what democratic means is a history that should not be forgotten by itself. You will realize from a wide edition that what citizens have been trying to protect is true history and the spirit of the day, not a history flowing one way by a huge people in power, but a whole new nation who are fighting to preserve a small meaning. Thus, the Red Star's collection of masterpieces, May, is a well-vigilant document of ordinary citizens who stood up in the square, not looking at injustice, but turning their backs, and standing up in a wire, in a hearing, and holding down the military gun and sword in the city without fear.
