Following the death of Crown Prince Hyomyeong in 1830, he was sent to exile, but later recalled. He was a progressive thinker, involved in the Sirhak movement.
His painting shows the influence of his teacher Gang Se-hwang (1713-1791), and he was also a follower of (1680-1741).
He is reckoned to be one of the greatest painters of bamboo, and his simple but effective landscape style showed his individuality. The same was true of his calligraphy.
