These works from Jang Jae-rok's "Another Landscape" and "Another Place - Cosmos" series look like ink paintings and black-and-white photographs simultaneously.

The six-panel centerpiece reconstructs traditional war screen motif as pixel-segmented ink images, while spiral galaxy-like screens show new "Cosmos" series.

Jang's works contain capitalism symbols—luxury cars, chandeliers, diamond rings—but all appear in ink tones, having lost original brilliant colors. These black and white images reveal emptiness and irony hidden in splendor.

Jang combines traditional ink techniques—bleeding, empty space, tonal changes—with digital images and contemporary visual grammar. His "pixelated ink painting" crosses boundaries between painting, photography, and digital images.

Side "Cosmos" series shows cosmic images through Korean paper, ink, and acrylic—from distance looking like nebulae, approaching reveals subtle ink traces.

Traditional "empty space" collides with modern "speed," ink painting's "contemplation" opposes image "desire." New dialogue begins in that middle point, within ink's subtle bleeding.

To Jang, ink painting is philosophy for self-reflection and medium delivering contemplation in our pixelated contemporary society.
