About the Item

Kim Dong Hyung Equilibrium2020 Hanji, mixed media on canvas Kim Dong Hyung reinterprets and expands the images accumulated on the walls of buildings with traces of time through cracks or rusty phenomena left on the walls of old buildings, and the artist's thoughts on the relationship between nature and artificiality. Kim Dong Hyung, who came into contact with construction sites as a child under the influence of his father who worked in architecture, pays attention to the drawings of the exterior and interior walls of buildings and captures the imagery in his works. Kim first creates texture on the canvas by using artificial construction materials such as acrylic filler. Then, he covers the texture with the natural material, Hanji, the Korean paper to neutralize the rough texture, and repeats the line drawing or adds several layers of color on top. Finally, Kim repeats the practice of erasing all the processes of the work with white paint, and the act of erasing the already painted picture again paradoxically becomes a process of completing the work by covering the process of enduring work creation with white color. The contradictory method of drawing and erasing the work represents the fundamental logic of Kim Dong Hyung's works. Through the traces of architectural walls, which have been worn and dismantled with the passage of time, leaving only texture and physical properties, Kim visually expresses the process of human artificial efforts adapting to the laws of nature. One of the striking elements in Kim Dong Hyung’s work is the ambiguous color that cannot be clearly defined. Kim Dong Hyung who majored in oriental painting, expresses the blank space, a representative characteristic of oriental painting, through the act of erasing. The ambiguous and neutral colors created by repeating the process of painting and erasing leave an afterimage and resonance. The duality of concealing yet revealing, and the whiteness of emptying yet fully filling, reminds us of a cyclical life in which all the passed processes return to the starting point, and unfolds a cosmic perspective of material, spirit, and oriental philosophy. Kim Dong Hyung graduated from the Department of Oriental Painting at Hongik University and the Department of Oriental Painting at Dankook University. Kim has exhibited at leading art museums and galleries in Korea, including solo exhibitions at the Oullim Art Museum in Goyang, Ullimnuri, and group exhibitions at the Gangneung Museum of Art. who won the ‘Gyeomjae Artist of Tomorrow Award’ from the Gyeomjae Jeongseon Museum of Art in 2022. 김동형 김동형 작가는 오래된 건축 벽면에 남은 균열이나 혹은 녹슨 현상들을 통해서 세월의 흔적이 건축 벽면에 축적된 이미지를 재해석하고 확장하여 자연과 인위의 관계에 대한 작가의 사유를 작품을 통해 표현한다. 유년 시절 건축 일을 하는 아버지의 영향으로 건축 현장을 접한 김동형은 건축물의 외벽이나 내벽의 도면에 주목하고 그 안에 저절로 새겨진 흔적에서 느끼는 작가의 심상을 작품에 담아낸다. 김동형 작가는 인위적 재료인 아크릴릭필러와 같은 건축용 자재를 사용하여 먼저 캔버스에 질감을 조성한다. 그 위에 자연의 재료인 한지를 덮어서 거친 질감을 중화시키고 선긋기를 반복하거나 여러 겹의 색 층을 올린다. 이후 작가는 흰 물감으로 작업의 모든 과정을 지우는 수행을 반복하는데 작품 창작의 인고의 과정을 흰 색으로 덮어가며 이미 그린 그림을 다시 지우는 행위는 역설적으로 작품을 완성하는 하나의 과정이 된다. 작품을 그리고 다시 지우는 모순된 방식은 김동형 작품의 근본적인 논리를 대변한다. 세월의 흐름으로 마모되고 해체되어 질감과 물성만 남은 건축 벽면의 흔적을 통해 작가는 인간의 인위적 노력이 자연의 이치에 순응하는 과정을 시각적으로 표현한다. 작가 김동형의 작품에서 눈길을 끄는 요소 중 하나는 뚜렷하게 정의할 수 없는 모호한 색감이다. 확연한 색감의 표출보다는 미연의 여백으로 작품을 완성하는데 동양화를 전공한 김동형은 동양화의 대표적 특성인 여백을 ‘지우는 행위’를 통해 표현한다. 칠하고 지우기를 반복하면서 생성되는 모호하고 중성적인 색감은 미지의 여운과 울림을 남긴다. 감추면서도 드러내는 이중성과 비우면서도 충만하게 채우는 순백 (純白)은 지나온 모든 과정이 원점으로 돌아가는 순환적 삶을 연상시키며 물질과 정신, 동양 철학의 전우주적 (全宇宙的) 시각을 전개한다. 홍익대학교 동양화과 석사, 단국대학교 동양화과를 졸업한 김동형 작가는 고양어울림누리 어울림미술관 개인전, 강릉시립미술관 단체전을 비롯하여 국내 유수 미술관과 갤러리에 초대되어 전시하고 있다.
