Galeria Yang din Beijing expune în această perioadă doi artiști, un chinez și un sud coreean. Comunicatele erau tot exclusiv în chineză așa că am apelat la Google Translate. Le redau aici pentru că e interesant de văzut ce rezultă din influența globală a artei occidentale asupra artei asiatice și mai ales ce specie nouă se naște din hibridizarea culturii vizuale asiatice cu sintaxe plastice din vest.

张郁葱 garden theme gardens less refined and comfortable, but full of chaos, such as hemp, as the intention of the turbulent waves. This is not so much a return to the traditional 张郁葱, as it is the traditional spirit of his lost homeland sigh. It is this step back a lament that between 张郁葱 painting and reality constitutes a kind of tension, but also to bring his art to the cultural reflection, which has a critical meaning of contemporary art. He is critical of this spectacular, hidden in the depths of his garden, to a certain melancholy artistic way to refract changing times, while for us to carve out a poignant imagination.

Ink vast silent symphony
– Review of Korean artist Kim Hyun ink painting
Gong Lin (Professor of Beijing Film Academy, China Artists Association Experimental Art Committee)
South Korean Kim Hyun ornamental works of contemporary artists, each time I feel like being with a vast space being, it would seem there is always a stormy clouds in nature interwoven together totally silent symphony surround the ear. Chhnang sometimes transparent, sometimes bleak shiver. I am not willing to wander in this earthly Hao Jie space dyed and Great Music sound symphony linger and linger.
Kim Hyun painter, not only in work and life, every month shuttling between Seoul and Qingdao, China, but also in the arts, but also beyond the boundaries of art and South Korea, the modern Korean traditional art of Chinese ink and binding as crazy like get drunk. Whether in reality or in the arts, he is one who dares to challenge themselves, to explore good practices and cheerful person.
Kim Hyun perhaps in the process of learning the art had to concentrate on study film and animation, and was received at the Central University PhD movies. Thus, his ink paintings, in my opinion, in addition to reflecting the passion and unrestrained screen, Ye Yi and deep, also showed a strong narrative features.
Passion and bold personality, making his words beyond the general expression of the inner space of the screen, so as to achieve the expression of a free state, and constantly explore and experiment, has formed its own unique artistic style and passion extreme simple language schema. Ye Yi and deep, from Kim Hyun on the personal character of hard practice and respect for nature and nostalgia, he often showed respect for farmers Woodman and reverence. I think, in recent years, he has focused performance “Baekdudaegan” mountains, it is his deep and wild mood Yi, expressed his yearning quality to the farmer and dreams. At the same time, the works of art in his simple language and wild Yat feelings of nostalgia, potentially showing beyond words narrative factors: whether the wind screen and dead trees valley water static, or take off the Eagles and pheasant wings, and whether the mother is reunited overlooking the mountains of hope, or as heavy bald roaring abyss. Kim Hyun inner narrative with all the pain of nostalgia and hope struggle. Therefore, he is extremely dignified and indulgence ink brushwork to express the pain and struggle, both giant system, such as the “wild Jiri” and “Bai myth” and so on; or those small format works, such as: “Bald hymn “and” bald roar “and so be able to strongly express the inner strength of this shock.
Kim Hyun-young, modern art by western influence, study tours to Europe and the United States, exhibitions, actively trying new materials and new methods, comprehensive material experiments with ink, but also did sculpture and installation art, animation and film art research in years of Eastern and Western art thinking, teaching and creative practice, has made remarkable achievements. In addition to the creation and diligence Mountain-view of the water, and now an adjunct professor of art and the Art Institute School of the Central University of Korea. These experiences allow Kim Hyun works a kind of otherworldly experience, aloof and cold imagery and inclusive exchange, grace open-minded attitude. He put all the work himself drawn all classified as “Baekdudaegan.” However, it is no longer a hill and a water but accumulate in the mix in the hearts of landscapes and dream imagery pen hometown. He worshiped Shi Tao eight, but not obsessed, he studied modern art structure, but not to abandon the traditional arts foundation. So we spilled from his work with the dry edges of the pen flying white, feel his steady and heroic, in light ink dyed with free outline, and can understand his reason and speculative. In his works, which show the mood of Manhattan Hao away books painted a painstaking scholar studying in order to gain ground, but also showed a foreign land covered with dusty walk walker Santa Claus.
Scholarship and walking, thinking and painting, the achievements of Kim Hyun artistic life, has become a form of artistic language Kim Hyun fundamental sources. So, he works extremely without affectation, coke dry ink pen immersive Feishazoushi (such as: “Bai myth”, “wild Jiri”, “dream”, etc.); indulgence of his work without pretense, indulged westerly like leaves (such as: “Winter history”, “early morning wind”, “History of struggle”, etc.); his work dignified and not stagnate, Yu Jian heavy atmosphere of ink (eg: “the night of the storm.” , “Hawks hope”, “bald roar,” etc.). Therefore, the wet ink shades in his work already converted to colored ink ink of speech, Kim Hyun reveal the inner aloof and expectations; depicts the history of the home and strife; narrative is the Kim Hyun dreams and nostalgia.
Kim Hyun is an insatiable explorer art, especially thinking and language experiments on ink, so he goes beyond the stereotype of modern ink ink technology, and on the basis of the traditional art of composition, brushwork as to the Department reached a point of arbitrary and outspoken intuitive visual language. Screen ink brushwork Kujiao concentrated strength of wet and soft, are like music in relaxation anxious Xu, forming a rhythmic visual symphony, we hear in his symphonic ink whistling in the wind, autumn bleak , the mountain and the sea of silent cry.
