"Writing on canvas. Painter Ma Gwang-soo"

“When I draw, I focus most on ‘spontaneity’ such as childhood innocence.” 

“I skip the procedure of setting the composition and determining the color in advance.

 I just draw as the brush goes. And also put the verses I wrote in order to try Western style literary painting. Theses are not the lines selected from the existing poems but created phrases spontaneously by me.”

“The genre that best fits the word ‘art’ is painting.”

“Art is the only means of nonviolently mediating the two things, ‘coercive conscience’ and ‘furious instinct’”

• Gwang-ma(狂馬), Ma Kwang-soo
