GangAm Song Sungyong (1913~1999) was from Gimje, Jeollabuk-do. And he is a calligrapher from the last Confucian scholar of the 20th century and a writer of poetry, calligraphy, and painting. While wearing a topcoat and hanbok for the rest of his life, he approached the study, thought, and calligraphy art of Yoo Jae Song Kimyeon and Kojae Lee Byungeun from the perspective of 'GucheSinyong'. And he kept the philosophical subjectivity that tries to maintain character and a right mind. It was based on 'Guche', which is a faithful succession to the reverence of the old. When I was young, I practiced Mibul and Dong Kichang with Gu Yangsun as the center, and Hwang Jeonggyeon, Hanye, Oh Heejae, and Sojeon typefaces were grafted together during the national exhibition. Then, in 1965 (age 53), he moved to Jeonju, and learned several typefaces such as Chusa typeface on his own, creating a Gangam typeface without any obstacles. And he created 'Sinyong' with Windy Bamboo painting, which embodied strange and unconventional meanings. In addition, he re-established his identity by reexamining the fundamental spirit and natural aesthetics of calligraphy, and based on this, he greatly contributed to expanding the aesthetics of modern calligraphy and painting art by pursuing an aesthetic that explores novelty. In particular, Windy Bamboo painting has strong abstraction based on the principle of 'drawing the will'. And, in terms of discipline, the ethical aesthetic of Express Tao with pictures (畵以載道), which expresses the high level of elegance of observing small things in a big way, based on deep research on the logic of things and fulfilling human nature. By implementing it, Tao and Art become one. The Jeonbuk calligraphy group achieved the greatest prosperity in the Gangam era, and at the end of the 20th century, it entered a period of revival as it established itself as the central calligraphy group of Korean calligraphy.
강암(剛菴) 송성용(宋成鏞)(1913~1999)은 전북 김제 출신으로서 20C 마지막 유생(儒生) 서예가이자 시·서·화 삼절작가이다. 그는 평생 보발과 한복을 유지하며 선친 유재(裕齋) 송기면(宋基冕)과 장인 고재(顧齋) 이병은(李炳殷)의 학문과 사상, 서화예술을 구체신용론적(舊體新用論的) 관점으로 접근하여 인격 도야 및 정심(正心)을 유지코자 하는 주체적 철학정신을 견지하였다. 법고(法古)에 대한 충실한 계승이라는 '구체(舊體)'를 근간으로 어려서는 구양순을 중심으로 미불, 동기창을 익혔고, 국전 출품기에는 황정견, 한예, 오희재, 소전체 등을 접목하였다. 이후 1965년(53세)에 전주로 이거, 추사체 등 여러 서체를 자가화하여 무대자득(無待自得)한 강암체(剛菴體)를 이루었고, 기괴적이고 파격적으로 사의화(寫意化) 한 풍죽(風竹)으로 '신용(新用)'을 창출해 내었다. 또한, 서예의 본원적 정신과 자연적 예술미를 재점검하여 정체성을 재확립하고, 이를 바탕으로 부단한 탐신(探新)의 미학을 추구하여 현대서화의 심미를 확장하는데 크게 이바지하였다. 특히 풍죽은 사의(寫意) 정신을 원리로 한 추상성이 강하며, 수양론적으로는 궁리(窮理)와 진성(盡性)을 바탕으로 하여 이소관대(以小觀大)의 고아미(高雅美)를 발현한 화이재도론적(畵以載道論的) 이학미학(理學美學)을 구현함으로써 도예일치(道藝一致)를 이루었다. 전북 서단은 강암(剛菴) 시대에 최고봉을 이루면서 20C 말 한국서예의 중심 서단으로 자리 잡으면서 중흥기를 맞이하게 된다.
