BIOGRAPHY
Hangbaek (恒白) Park Deok-jun is a Korean artist, calligrapher, and calligraphy researcher. He explores new possibilities in calligraphy by interpreting the relationship between letters and space in a modern way based on the principles of classical calligraphy. His works are deeply moving, creating a harmony between tradition and modernity.
Hang Bak Deok-jun's calligraphy has value as an artistic expression that goes beyond simple writing.
