K-Liz Gallery uncovered a new chapter in the project, "BLANC x 대동여지도: Map for Harmony with BLUECANVAS."  With the presentation of "Chapter II: Trois garçons à Paris" opening on October 18th, 2025, offering a new perspective on coexistence and harmony, which was first explored in the 2024 Paris Paralympic Games commemorative exhibition. This exhibition dives into the artistic journeys of three talents: Feliz Park, Son Je-hyeong, and Cheon Min-jun, each inspired by their experiences in the City of Fashion.

This installment builds on the foundation of Chapter I, which featured domestic and international artists reinterpreting Gosanja Kim Jeong-ho's "Daedongyeojido" through a contemporary lens. Chapter II shifts the focus to the individual Parisian experiences of these three artists. The exhibition offers not just art, but a window into the artists' souls as they translate their Parisian encounters onto the canvas.

Feliz Park: A Dialogue Between Home and Abroad

Feliz Park, a familiar name to art enthusiasts after his inclusion in the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art's Art Bank for several years, is becoming a household name after appearing on KBS TV with an inspirational documentary about his life. He now returns with a fresh artistic eye. Best known for his detailed, color-sensitive portrayals of everyday life in series like "My Room" and "Tree," Park's creative vision has expanded. His experience in Paris marked a turning point, moving beyond the familiar confines of his home and studio.

"I used to draw 'My Room' mostly in my house, but I was able to observe not only the daily space where I lived for a long time, but also the outside world through this trip," Feliz shared.  He elaborated on the impact of his Parisian excursion: "It was also fun to put feelings from strange and new places into my paintings. I have a lot more material to use for my work. I want to fill the places where I step in with my own colors to capture the rich emotions in my paintings in the future.”

Feliz, who captured the serene greens of Damyang and the vibrant energy of the Gwangju Biennale in his work, hopes his audience will take a moment to reflect on their own memories and be inspired to explore new destinations. His philosophy: artistic integrity and eager observation. Those are the motivations behind his creative process. "The most important thing I value as an artist is honesty," he says. "I'm trying to stick to my own unique view of the world surrounding me."

Son Je-hyeong: Monsters in the City of Lights

Son Je-hyeong, a rising star in his own right, known for his bold style and vibrant portrayal of animals, particularly elephants and rhinoceroses, returns with a new series inspired by his Parisian adventure, setting his signature monster characters in the city's beautiful landscape. His paintings are therefore populated by influential, empathetic figures that serve as protectors. In previous work, he showed that large animals are visually striking; their selection stems from a deeper, emotional necessity.

Je-hyeong admits that his inclination to draw and paint these subjects began unconsciously at a very young age; he was drawn to them by their imposing strength and fierce appearance. However, over time, that unconscious attraction crystallized into an emotional strategy. He realized that through his paintings, “he had created this alter ego because he felt a necessity to protect himself and his loved ones from the harsh and sometimes cruel behavior of society.”

For this exhibition, he says, “I made the color of the painting more distinct by mixing gwache with Korean paper.” The use of these elements brings a webtoon-like energy that serves not only as visual art but as a powerful, alter ego designed to champion fairness and protection, showcasing a vision beyond conventional comic formats. Je-hyeong's ambition goes beyond painting on canvas; he is working on the second volume of his comic book series, "Monster Comet." this project, whos main character is established through his painting, is a figure who embodies justice and compassion, he shares:, “I started drawing and writing a comic book with a very appealing character who support fairness and helps those in need.” This desire had grown since watching “Baby Dinosaur Dooley” and recognizing the power of comics to connect with audiences.

"I liked drawing and cartooning," Je-hyeong explains, his wish: to solidify his position as an artist who seamlessly moves between fine art and graphic narrative, using the strength of his iconic animal figures to advocate for a kinder, unbiased world.

Cheon Min-jun: Lines of Emotion in the City of Love

A true artist's journey often begins in the quiet corners of childhood, and for Cheon Min-jun, who is in his second year at Baekseok University of Arts, that journey started with a pencil and a passion for filling blank space. Now, his paintings, which explore deep personal memories such as his participation in the Paralympics Exhibition in Paris last year, are here to captivate an international audience.

His early artistic steps were simple yet persistent. “When I was in school, I drew shapes and letters with pencils in my notebook and practice book, and buying coloring books was my hobby,” he recalls. The appeal was in the feeling, not in the technique. “Coloring and filling the space as I felt it was a lot of fun, and even if I drew for hours, I didn't have a hard time.”

His professional path was cemented in 2022 after a teacher at a welfare center encouraged him to pursue art seriously. It was a pivotal moment, marked by a key observation about his innate talent. He shares the compliment he heard at this time, which was: “I use colors well in harmony.”

Today, that harmony is used to bring clarity to his subjects. While he appreciates color, his true devotion lies in structure. “I prefer working with lines rather than colors,” he states, explaining a deliberate choice in composition: “Sometimes the background is simply expressed or omitted to make the subject clearer and clearer.”, which allows him to depict figures in parades and performances in his current pieces.

The core subject of his painting is deeply personal: memories. His canvases are populated by elements drawn from different chapters of his life—the vibrant fish encountered during snorkeling trips, the enchanting scenes from a fairy-tale book read by his mother, and the lively animals he met at a carnival or amusement park, including the classic figure of a Pierrot. He paints these subjects hoping the viewer will join him in reflection. “I hope the audience also looks forward to returning to their memories while looking at my paintings,” he explains.

A Harmonious Map, a New Parisian Story

"Chapter II: Trois garçons à Paris" is a conversation in artistic form. By displaying the "Daedongyeojido" artwork from Chapter I alongside the new series (Chapter II), the exhibition continued the legacy of exploring the connection between art and the past and present, encouraging the viewers to dive into the experiences of these three artists and discover their own interpretations of harmony and coexistence.
