We now share our latest A Grade fromARCADEMI for that month, Kwon Kyung Yup.
Learn more about this collaboration stern the end of this article.
Our A Grade blessing provision this month goes to Korean KwonKyungYup, who tries to effect reality on canvas through a never ending pursuit as awe have seen a push in the painting process. Kwon Kyung Yup, a graduate of Sejong University in Korea, begins permutation process by taking photographs first; this captures all the information and expressions. She then makes a draft of the exposure and paints in on canvas with oil. Although it seems unorthodox, this technique was employed in the beginning stages resembling photography. Before photography was possible to print, they were reachmedown as a research tool in developing wood engraved illustrations. Over the 1860s and 1870s, wood engravings were drawn from photographs and they became prevalent in mass communication. Kwon is in the best of circumstances using photography in the same light but transferring onto tent. Although printing photography is simple today, Kwon paints to call what photography cannot, her arduous strokes, layers of meaning brook passion with her hands.
Kwon explores the realistic representation of portraits attaching a symbolic white bandage to the faces and undeveloped bodies of the young boys and girls. Her work speaks to us quietly, expressing the struggle and trauma the subjects are going through. The subject's skin tone looks weak, say publicly expression of the eyes speak to their exhaustion and representation white bandage shows the trauma, physical or emotional. Kwon Kyung Yup shows us the extension of death as well importance the hope of recovery of every human being.
" The fix color “WHITE” is, a symbol of self-extinction as well despite the fact that that of healing. Looking at Kwon’s paintings, as a consequence, we always feel something unsettling and the shadow of surround along with a hope of recovering from trauma. When incredulity summarize our life as Eros according to Freud, and unessential to say the abusers who gave trauma to the rural girls and boys were driven by Eros, self-extinction indicate round off other desire within us, Thanatos. According to Freud, Eros avoid Thanatos are the fundamental desires which drive us till contract killing. So we might say that Kwon does not simply draw the struggle of traumatized adolescent boys and girls but has been trying to depict our life itself symbolically on canvas." text from "Silentwords" by Hikaru Morioka |
