“일상에서 경험하는 풍경이나 사물들이 어떻게 시각적으로 인코딩(encoding)되는지 또 그들이 어떻게 우리인식에 영향을 미치는지를 탐구하고 회화적으로 접근하려 한다. 추상적이면서도 현대성의 해석맥락에서 나의 작품콘셉트는 반사와 투영 그리고 바코드(barcode)풍경이라고 할 수 있다.” 여름비가 종일 오락가락하던 날 경기도 파주, 정인완 작가 작업실을 찾았다.

화실인근 넓은 하천 둑으로 초록야생풀들이 빗방울을 머금은 채 싱그럽게 뻗어나가고 있었다. 그 둑길을 걸으며 대화를 나눴다. “구상적인 것과 추상적인 생각을 하나의 화면으로 전달하려 한다. 작가의 시선으로써 자연이 전하는 모든 메시지를 아름다움이라고 여긴다. 자연의 형상, 소리가 끊임없이 변화되지만 궁극으로 그것은 대자연이라는 하나로 통일된다는 것에 주목하고 있다.”라고 말했다.

그러면서 “관람자가 나의 작업을 대할 때 쉽고 편하게 다가갈 수 있는 표현을 고민한다. 그러한 방식은 내가 자연을 바라보는 철학이기도 하다.”라고 덧붙였다. 정인완 미술가는 독일 카셀대학교 자유미술학과(순수미술)를 졸업했다. 모나무르(모나밸리,아산), 갤러리 고도, 갤러리 자인제노, 갤러리 서종(양평), 연명예술촌갤러리(통영), Kulturhaus Dock 4(카셀) 등에서 다수 개인전을 가졌다.

Hans Hofmann mused, “ Creation is dominated by three absolutely different factors: First, nature, which works upon us by its laws; second, the artist, who creates а spiritual contact with nature and his materials; third, the medium of expression  through which the artist translates his inner world. ”   Following this credo, Korean artist Ryu Youngsin's abstracted expressionist style illustrates the power and beauty of nature. Focusing on vivid color and integrated texture, her mixed media paintings evoke the visceral power of nature. Impressed and fascinated by the landscape and its elements, Ms. Youngsin's dazzling compositions pulsate with an emotional bravura and are passionate reflections revealing her personal perceptions of nature.   Forest-Divine No149, 130×130 ㎝ , Mixed media, 2022 ⓒADAGP.

[Robert C. Morgan, Art Critic] South Korea Painter Ryu Youngsin‥Black Hole Paintings

이미지
  Forest-Black hole No43, 60.6×60.6 ㎝ Mixed media, 2016. ⓒADAGP Since I wrote a review on the work of Ryu Young Sin a year ago, her paintings have continued to evolve.  By evolving I mean they have become more open and free in their exploration of experimental form. They are not in the same place they once were. From a critical point of view, I find a certain pleasure in what Ryu is doing today, specifically in a series called Forest – Black Hole.   These paintings suggest they are the work of an artist emerging from the cocoon of her past. Even if the style and subject matter of these paintings look the same, they are not. While there are always traces or resemblances that make us believe one painting is the same as another, this is rarely if ever the case (unless, of course, it is made intentional).     Forest-Black hole No26, 53×53 ㎝ , Mixed media, 2015. ⓒADAGP For example, if one carefully studies the work of the mid-twentieth century Italian painter ...

[Robert C. Morgan, Art Critic] South Korea Painter Ryu Youngsin‥Visual Rhythms from a Forest of Birch

Youngsin Ryu is a highly accomplished contemporary painter who for the past five years has focused her attention on representing the formal elegance of birch trees. Like many Korean painters, her point of view is to envision forms in nature that contain the Qi or quiet energy. She discovered the natural movements ofthe trunks, branches, and leaves of these vibrant trees while observing the effect of breezes blowing through the forest glade.   Inspired by what she saw, Youngsin Ryu chose to transform this rhythmic sensation into an epic of wonderment through the art of painting.   It is precisely this sense of wonder that intrigued the artist, thus giving   the artist a necessary focus by which to concentrate and transform her perceptions of nature through her lingering experience in the birch forest.   Why birch t...
