Gwandong Palgyeongdobyeong is a folding screen of 8 parts showing eight magnificent scenes in Eastern Korea of the Daegwan Ridge. It is the work of the artist Jeong Seon (1676–1759). I felt attracted to the works of Jeong Seon while living at the foot of Bukak Mountain in Seoul, which is also where he lived. I extracted a part of the painting showing the beautiful scenery of Joseon after appreciating the painting for a while and created a pattern named gureumbogi. While gureumbogi is already a beautiful pattern, I placed fish on top to create ‘Gangmulgogi’ (‘River Fish’), giving it a more specific shape. Based on Jeong Seon’s picture, I added a playful pattern of river fish.
