“Chaekgeori,” translating to "books and things," is a traditional Korean folk painting that depicts a scholar's bookshelf. It symbolizes the scholar's love of learning and appreciation for art, often featuring books, stationery, and other scholarly objects arranged in an intricate and symbolic manner. “Check N’ Go #2” is a reinterpretation of that tradition, as seen through the boundless wonder of a child’s imagination.
