🖼 ONE LINE FROM THIS PAINTING

"What does the proud bearing of a rooster standing tall bring to mind?"

📝ONGO's Reflection

This is a detail of a rooster painting by Owon Jang Seung-eop. In the feathers shaped by unhesitating brushwork and the upright posture, a living vigor overflows. In this single rooster I see the pride of one who holds his own place. The rooster announces the dawn without fail and reveals himself without reserve. There is a dignity all its own in a being that, though not lavish, does its work and stands without shame. The figure that does not measure itself against others but is faithful in its own place is the most natural grace of all.
