About the Item

Ouhi Cha (*1945 Busan), Untitled, 1988. mixed media, 31.8 cm x 23.3 cm (sheet size), signed “Ouhi Cha” in pencil below and dated “[19]88”. - in good condition - Bleeding Picture - A square drawn in pencil suggests a framed picture field into which a calligraphic figure is inserted. In the upper right corner are clusters of red paint, from which a trail of drips leads through the figuration and beyond the picture frame, ending in a red dot. This creates a contrast with the red ball of color, which makes the color, resembling blood, simultaneously present inside and outside the picture. The pencil figuration also has an aura that extends beyond the frame. About the artist Ouhi Cha studied painting at Chung-Ang University in Seoul from 1964 to 1969. In 1977, she traveled to Europe, first living in Paris, and then, from 1981 on, alternating between Berlin and Seoul. In addition to painting and drawing, she began producing lithographs and illustrating volumes of poetry. In 1996, she received a scholarship from the Senator of Culture of Berlin, and in 2001, she was awarded the Seok Ju Cultural Foundation Art Prize. Her work, which combines Korean calligraphic tradition with Western modernity, has been exhibited numerous times in Germany (Berlin, Düsseldorf, and Dresden), South Korea (Seoul and Busan), and Japan (Tokyo and Kyoto). GERMAN VERSION Ouhi Cha (*1945 Busan), Ohne Titel, 1988. Mischtechnik, 31,8 cm x 23,3 cm (Blattgröße), unten in Blei mit „Ouhi Cha“ signiert und auf „[19]88“ datiert. - in gutem Zustand - Blutendes Bild - Die mit Bleistift gezogene Quadratform suggeriert ein gerahmtes Bildfeld, in welches sich eine kalligraphische Figuration einfügt. In der oberen rechten Ecke ballt sich rote Farbe, von der aus eine Tropfspur durch die Figuration bis über das Bildfeld hinausführt und in einem roten Punkt endet. Dieser bildet einen Kontrapunkt zur roten Farbballung, so dass die wie Blut wirkende Farbe gleichzeitig innerhalb und außerhalb des Bildes präsent ist. Zugleich weist die Bleistiftfiguration eine ebenfalls über den Rahmen hinausreichende Aura auf. zur Künstlerin Ouhi Cha studierte von 1964 bis 1969 Malerei an der Chung-Ang-Universität in Seoul. 1977 reiste sie nach Europa und lebte zunächst in Paris und ab 1981 abwechselnd in Berlin und Seoul. 1985 wurde ihr Werk in der Staatlichen Kunsthalle Berlin ausgestellt, wodurch sie Bekanntheit erlangte. Neben der Malerei und Zeichnung begann Cha auch Lithographien herzustellen und Lyrikbände zu illustrieren. 1996 erhielt Cha ein Stipendium des Berliner Kultursenators und 2001 wurde ihr der Kunstpreis der Seok-Ju-Kulturstiftung verliehen. Ihr Werk, das die koreanische Tradition der Kalligraphie mit der Moderne des Westens verbindet, wurde in zahlreichen Ausstellungen in Deutschland (Berlin, Düsseldorf, Dresden), Südkorea (Seoul, Busan) und Japan (Tokio, Kyoto) gezeigt.
