Hyokab Na
To him, all the mysteries of life which are created when man's free will meets God's absolute will can not help being objects of permanent artistic curiosity as well as wellsprings of passion.
He feels ecstasy when he digs out the mystery and expresses it. The mystery is simultaneously very familiar and routine and aloof and detached. He put both the daily and the aloof together in his paintings.
In style, Mr. Na's paintings are very expressionistic. In the word 'Expressionism', we feel the existence of the power of outward (ex-) movement, or eruption (press). In considering that he likes to experience everything for himself, it is quite natural that he prefers expressionistic energy.

对他来讲， 人的自由意志与神的绝对意志相遇而产生的所有的生命的奥秘，都毫无例外地成为艺术家亘古不变的好奇心所要探求的对象，或是激情的抒发。
当他能发掘出那奥秘并对其加以表现，他便欣喜若狂。那种神秘既熟悉普通，又是那样高深莫测，遥不可及。他的画作同时表现了日常生活同时又高于生活。在风格上，纳先生的绘画具有表现主义的特点。"表现主义"的英文词仅从字面就让我们感觉到那前突的挥动笔触的力量和瞬间压力的释放。想到他对任何事物都愿意去切身体会，也就难怪他会钟情于表现主义的所带来的能量了。
He was Korean artist known as unique artist without any formal also any boundary. Na Hyogab, he did himself favor to me that let him introduce to Mr. Yang by my career.
I am Li Jin-ming, who lives in Korea. I have worked as curator, also art critic among Asian countries since 2002. My main job in question is discovering artists and after that I introduce them to art scene among several countries.
Anyway I recommend him to you with my pride, in the objective basis that he is already beyond normal place, to which common artists adhere. That is, he is accomplishing his stylistic perfection altogether. And moreover, he is taking the place as one of the most important post-modern painter within Korean art scene. He got a group of preferring his artwork composed of curators, art lovers, members of art commitment of Korea.
In the either commercial or artistic aspect, he is firmly possessing a social consequence as far as his surrounding is concerned. But more important thing is in the fact that he has always chosen disadvantageous way as artist. He did suddenly choose China as his preference despite of his good artistic situation. He is really brave heart, that is.
Now I can recommend him strongly to you as your partner, Mr. Yang. And he will show to us everything he can.
