The Ancient Land by Chung Dong Soo. In this painting, the Korean women are farming on top of what used to be a castle wall in Manchuria. The castle wall was built with dirt 2000 years ago by the ancient kingdom of Korea (Koguryo) when Manchuria was part of the Kingdom of Korea. There are many of these ancient earthen castle walls remaining in that part of ancient Korea. Chung Dong Soo is the recipient of many awards in China and Korea and has been exhibited in numerous galleries in both countries. His work is in the permanent collection of Korea's Suwon Art Center and is currently on view at the Museum of Korean Culture in New York. His paintings can best be classified and understood as the modern day expressions and interpretations of Koguryo paintings. Chung Dong Soo is a Chinese artist of Korean descent living in Manchuria, but the subjects of his ink paintings are clearly and purely Korean. His paintings show the life of Koreans living in Manchuria. Their lives, their faces, their expressions, their wishes and their agonies express their Koreanness. According to an official Chinese travel web site about Koreans living in Manchuria, there are about 2 million Koreans that live within the Yanbian Korean autonomous region in Manchuria. They speak and write in Korean and live as Koreans following Korean traditions and customs. What are these traditions and customs? According to Chinese official publications, “People from the Korean ethic group are famous for their expertise at singing and dancing.” No wonder Korean movies, dramas, songs, singers and actors are always at the top of the charts in China. Chung Dong Soo's paintings express the resilience of the people whose country has been usurped under their feet. They express the vigor that was once the national expression of Koguryo that ruled much of East Asia. At the same time, there are subtle senses of sadness that evoke the feeling of a lost nation that resonates in much of his paintings. Ink and colors on paper mounted on silk. 26.75 x 17.75 inches, 68 x 45 cm.
