(Seoul=Yunhap News) Reporter Moon Da-yeong = A face with short hair can be seen in the middle of red and yellow lines. He is the 'beautiful young man' Jeon Tae-il.
Global digital media artist Frankie (real name Bae Han-seong) unveiled a digital art work with the Jeon Tae-il 50th Anniversary Event Committee at the proclamation ceremony of 'Jeon Tae-il Memorial Month' held at Jeon Tae-il Bridge in Jongno-gu, Seoul on the 14th.
Author Frankie said in an interview with Yonhap News, "I am very moved. He is a martyr who has surpassed human limits."
He is an abstract expressionist artist who mainly uses digital media. Last year, his work 'hoo1906070149' was sold for a huge amount and attracted attention.
After learning from an acquaintance last August that this year is the 50th anniversary of Jeon Tae-il's martyrdom, the artist said he created a digital art work with the emotion and respect he felt after reading 'The Biography of Jeon Tae-il'.
Frankie said, "While painting, I felt that the martyr went beyond simply wishing for the Labor Standards Act to be properly observed, and was a humanist who loved all mankind."
Watching the event held online, the artist said, "Seeing how many people honored the 50th anniversary of Jeon Tae-il's death, I felt that the alter ego of the martyr was never in vain."

This is the first time Frankie, who has been obsessed with pure painting, has drawn a social activist. The artist said, "This is the first time I have painted a work about a social figure. I was moved by the life of a martyr and decided to paint it."
The artist's work is interpreted differently depending on the viewer. He feels both moved and feared. Some say that a person's face can be seen in the tangled red lines.
The artist said, “It seems that each person sees something latent inside them through the work,” and expressed his hope that various interpretations of the martyr Jeon Tae-il could be made while looking at the work. The reason why the work does not have a title is to leave it to the mind of the viewer.
Martyr Jeon Tae-il started sewing at Pyeonghwa Market at the age of 17. He tried to improve the poor working conditions of his colleagues, and on November 13, 1970, at the young age of 22, shouting for compliance with the Labor Standards Act, he set himself on fire.
The work will be displayed at the Jeon Tae-il Memorial Hall for one month.
