1) flatness & repeatability

 

The Dansaekhwa of Eui-chul 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 ston. 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 sooirituality. 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 intuitiveand 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’a 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 Dansaekhwa, the painting

”flatness“ is about the self regulation, and self reduction of modernism.The second character of Kown’s painting is the “repeatability”. Hearranges 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 beween 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-beyondworld to be led by him. And let’s gain the calmness and peace of mind at there by him.

2) the thought about time and space

 

 

 

 

 

The theory concerns with environment to bear it. Like it art also expresses environment, the philosophy of time visually. The existentialism has motto “here and now”. It is about time and space. Namely the existentialism is the art tendency to birth from the philosophical environment. He also show us the painting to restricted by time and space. In his painting time show the trace of thought and contains the memory of past. And in his painting space can not escape the frame of canvas. But it becomes the area of his thought and experience.

 

In the memory of dictionary, this is the present concept to mean this instance right now. Past is the previous, and future is the coming from now on. The front of flowing not to win art, time is the development of desire ot make forever it and reverse it. The title of Euichul Kown, “the trace of time” is because of the flow of making progress to cover canvas with color. It is the making by the view point of linear time intervening of physical behavior. The view point of linear is from the historical view point of development. Also A. Einstein persists the simultaneity of time, It stretches out at same time without border. Euichul Kwon also show the painting by the concept of Bergson’s continuity. The concept of Bergson’s continuity is expressed with the consecutive image, it is repetitive and consective of one image compare with Kown’s painting.

 

In the meaning of dictionary, space is the three-dimensional span, and in the meaning of philosophy. it is the basic form to make the world with time. Even though the independent thing, it is possible to stand without near space. The thought aobut space is possible to consist of the various system. Kwon’s conscious space to pass through the organization process and the special thought and experience, becomes potential space to discover self. So Kwon’s conscious space supply us “his space” to think. At that time potentiality includes much more things and exist inner the real. And it becomes the essential thought to support the extension about space. This thought has the positive power to make the difference inner it. In his painting, the consciousness about fluent space and the regrettable attitude about the physical canvas bears the result to make “the space of him” giving the movement to empty space.

 

Euichul Kwon paints the canvas with several layered color. It is the area of creation to contain new experience of him and his memory. It is also the area of behavior, and the ｅxpression of ideal material. He expresses the trace of time to become forget painting color on his canvas. And it deliver us the meaning of esprit. Past always changes by the new presence. His painting, the Korean 2th generation of Dansaekhwa, delivers us the thought about existence.
