Artist Biography

Taewoong Rho was born in Daegu in 1955, and today he lives and works in Deagu, Korea. He studied Fine Arts and later he was awarded Master fo Painging at Keimyung Univiersity in Deagu. He was a professor of fine art at Deagu University of Art from 1993 - 2012.

Taewoong Rho`s painting is based on realism that expresses Korean Landscape. However, his painting should not ne construed as mere reallism. He seems to be transferring his own internality into the natural scenery through his unique colour management, symbolism, an unfettered technique such as engraving technique, and artificial Mathieur effect by the alluvity of painted marble powder.

He does not simply stay in capturing the static moments of things, but there is a sense of joy in Korean landscapes, especially urban people.
