Pigment, layer, lineage
Painted works where pigment and lacquer intersect: technique preceding, rather than following, the decorative traditions more widely recognized abroad.
Guija Jeong
No. 1
A single tiger beneath a pine branch, two magpies overhead, the core composition of the kkachi-horangi (tiger-and-magpie) genre, worked in flat mineral pigment on paper. The earliest of Jeong's four pieces in this collection, dated 2018.

No. 2
A two-panel work pairing a coiled, leopard-spotted animal with an upright striped tiger, both rendered in the wide-eyed, flattened idiom particular to this genre. The diptych format sets two variations of the tiger figure against each other rather than isolating one.

No. 3
Pairs a crouching striped tiger beneath pine and magpies with a second panel of a roaring tiger beside water, sun, and a further pair of magpies, folding the auspicious sun-and-water motif into the tiger-and-magpie genre. Dated 2018, alongside No. 1 and No. 2.

No. 4
An eight-panel folding screen, each panel holding two framed scenes of tigers and leopards in the same idiom as Jeong's 2018 works, expanded here to full screen format. The six-year gap between this piece and Nos. 1–3 marks a move from single studies to a complete, room-scale statement of the same subject.
