Artist Park, Tae-Kyun
Expression by letters that look like a drawing or a writing Making a communication with the world! The influence on the society by art is beyond the imagination. It could be a message of hope to someone or could be a role of comfort to someone else. Recently, when people are looking at artist Park, Tae-Kyun’s artworks who is considered as a young master in the art industry, he seems to get out of the longtime subject such as trees and wooden supports, but instead, he is trying to communicate with the world with letters. Now, he is talking to the world with some characters. Printing method by a computer work, playing with originality When the viewers look at this work, they feel the colors in use are quite unique. It must be the reason of his special technique. As he has been working with a computer for 20 years, people could feel some part of the fusion art that is melted with photography, computer, engraving and painting. Generally, other artists do print the results out and then add some final touch on that, but because of the limit of expression of colors, most of them didn’t try it. However, artist Park has been working with an experienced know-how and proper equipments to be able to describe the quality of colors. Eventually, his works seem lively like that he did by his hands. Trees and wooden supports as main materials feel to be blended to show the reality of the modern life. Actually, in those artworks, his inside of mind that he is dreaming of the hopeful world, which is a different world, is laying while he is changing the texture of the color in the surface and trying to reflect on the world nobody can live alone. Like his hope, artist Park has shown artworks looking different than before. It is a showing of new look of letters by abstract concept. Letters are basically an easy object that everybody can approach. So, artists can communicate with viewers more simply. By that, artist Park, Tae-Kyun never stops changing the world and even more, he is dreaming of communication with the audience with letters, which would be a new field. Also, he is the major figure of people who are leading the cultural art better and more different from before in Suwon. For last 20 years, he has produced over 2,000 junior artists while running the <Hou & Jamyeong Visual Creative Academy>. Other than that, he is trying to make a unique culture of Suwon by forming the Kyodong Creative Zone, lately. Especially, the <Rodeo Outdoor Gallery>, which he was leading, is now catching people’s attention as the first outdoor gallery in Korea. After the first gallery opening, he is preparing for the second outdoor gallery in 30 meter of size in October. This kind of outdoor gallery can get people closer to the gallery at ease since they mostly feel the gallery is far from their lives. So, it is criticized his idea is one step close to the public communication. - Editor Oh, Sang-Hyeon His interest of the latest artwork by artist Park, Tae-Kyun is that he is focusing on the formativeness of Hangeul and meaning of shape. This experimental attitude is more interesting, actually, because he is trying to find a new way-out of the abstract painting based on various expressions made of printing media. The reason why artist Park, Tae-Kyun is taking lots of attention is that he has working on the combination between the tradition of calligraphy and the modernity of it. And even, it is written in Hangeul. This is a necessary subject of current artists in this era if they want to live with their own identity. - Artist Jeon, Joon-Yeop |
