Dansaekhwa of Eui-chul Kwon

- flatness & repeatability -

Hyoseon Kim

(Independent Curator)

The Dansaekhwa of Euichul Kwon is clean and transparent as his appearance. And we face his beautiful painting.

He is the 2nd generation of Dansaekhwa artist, he makes his painting with print and letter of remains stone. Dansaekhwa is the tendency of Korea, from 70’s to early 80’s. It emphasizes the flatness of canvas. So we can compare it with western minimalism, but minimalism is the products of rationalism, and Dansaekhwa is the products of spiritualism. It is based on the oriental view of nature, to return to the nature. So the Dansaekhwa of Euichul Kwon also is dyed by spirituality.

As it, the Korean Dansaekhwa is similar to the western minimalism by influence of form, but the substance is different each other. The western minimalism is analytic and systematic, but Korean Dansaekhwa is intuitive and transcendental, so it’s spiritual world is based on the oriental view of nature, to return to the nature. It is Dansaekhwa from late 70’s to early 80’s that the stream of oriental conciousness is appeared well. So Dansaekhwa is the first tendency not to go back and to connect with Korean traditional esprit.

The first character of Kwon’s painting is the “flatness”. In his painting, the meaning of “flatness’ is not ”to actualize of thing’s illusion“, but ”to show the conceptual method“. The first character of modernism is the denial about the traditional art, the escape of the illusion of painting and abstraction. In Kwon’s Dansekhwa, the painting ”flatness“ is about the self regulation, and self reduction of modernism.

The second character of Kown’s painting is the “repeatability”. He arranges the certain shape of a canvas repeatedly, it leads the canvas to all-over composition. It is 20th century that accept the repeatability method in the pure painting. He approaches to the stage of meditation by repetitive action of his body. It is the example to show the non-materialization of material by the interaction of material and action. Here, he border between material and non-material removed. Namely the unity of object and subject is emblematic of the untied world. It is the similarity and deference with minimalism.

Kwon’s Dansaekhwa is meaningful because he seek the clean and transparent spiritual world. He is the junior, 2nd generation artist to follow the first generation of Dansaekhwa. So in the world of art, his role and state is so high. Now let’s leave to the far-beyond world to be led by him. And let’s gain the calmness and peace of mind at there by him.

Artist’s Note

Dreaming the ideal world not to exist...

From the historical moment...

I find the motive at the historical things to be became in wind and

frost by old dates. My sense of beauty is from the only my thinking

 area, it is by my space of private ownership. It dreams th world

 of thinking of Euichul Kwon.

I create the new beauty of shape, in the process of my painting,

sometimes it is by unexpected mistake. Overlapping through the

 extension of idea, deforms of original composition, and I finished

 my paintings by message of only my plastic language.
