Artwork Analysis #1
Portrait Artist Kim Byungkwan
-Seol Korea based painter.
-Paints variations of same objects.
-never uses a base sketch.
-deconstructing objects is not an act of destruction or rejection of them.
The artist is trying to bring us out of our familiarity (visual habit) by destroying and reconstructing this habitual vision so that our vision can be extended to other images.
This reminds me of the concept of Memory Mind in psychology. Can we ever see things anew? This artist takes things that we have seen and stopped seeing, and mixes them up for a new exciting adventure for our eyes.
I am new to this, and find myself being very rigid in my applications. I hope to experience a breakout and be more liberal with my use of materials and techniques. To allow myself to express and not worry so much about the outcome.
