Chang Ucchin (1917–1990) was a seminal figure in establishing Korean modernism, developing a distinctive artistic style that embodies a sense of innocence and playfulness. His work has become a cornerstone of modern and contemporary Korean art, leaving behind a significant legacy that reflects his deep affection for family, home, and nature.

Chang Ucchin sought to capture the fundamental beauty of life through the simplest forms, depicting familiar natural elements such as trees, birds, the sun, and the moon. These motifs transcend time and space, creating a world of peace and serenity. In his paintings, the home is more than a structure; it is a spiritual refuge, the heart of life, and an ideal space where humanity and nature exist in perfect harmony.
