Global digital media artist Hooranky(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.
Hooranky 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 marks 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'.
Hooranky said, "While drawing, I felt that the martyr went beyond simply wishing for the Labor Standards Act to be properly respected and was a humanist who loved all mankind," and "I thought that I should practice the same with him, myself."
Watching the event held online, he said, "Seeing how many people honored the 50th anniversary of Jeon Tae-il's death, I felt that the burn himself 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. He said, "This is the first time I have drawn a work about a social figure. He was moved by the martyr's life and decided to paint," and "There is no need to distinguish painting of martyr from pure paintings."
The artist's work is interpreted differently depending on the viewer. It is both moved and feared. Some say that a person's face is 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 wish to be able to interpret various interpretations of the martyr Jeon Tae-il 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.
