Yoon Jongsuk 윤종숙

Yoon Jongsuk is an artist whose paintings are inspired by her memories of landscapes, transformed into abstract representations using narrative elements that she refers to as "mindscapes." Her creative process involves repeatedly applying and wiping away colors, leaving traces of previous iterations, and working on multiple pieces simultaneously over an extended period of time. Her paintings reflect a journey through Eurasia, and they convey a sense of drifting between close and distant horizons, with fragmented motifs that retain an element of ambiguity from her alien past. Emphasizing the flow of motion with a muted color scheme, her brushwork avoids drama and exaggeration, rather suggests meditative harmony through landscape and composition.

Gallery Baton is pleased to share an interview with Rho Eunjoo on the occasion of her exhibition at Chapter II in November 2023. Focusing on the transmission of sense that can occur as the nature of the medium and material changes, Rho Eunjoo records and reproduces the relationship between objects and space through the processes of drawing, modeling, and photography. The exhibition presents an expanded exploration of sense through devices that actively impart temporality and the sculptural characteristics of floating objects.

Weaving The Light | Artist Kimsooja 김수자

Follow South Korean artist Kimsooja into an underground water reservoir where she “weaves with light” while tapping into East Asian philosophy “reflecting our selves, our fortune, and our universe.” The world of textiles rooted in the handicraft of Korean tradition is at the centre of Kimsooja’s work. When given the possibility of making an installation in a huge underground water cistern full of darkness, she “immediately thought of doing a light project”, she explains, calling it a “light laboratory”. “As I have been doing many projects in relation to sewing and weaving or wrapping, all related to textiles in a way, those questions have been reached to the point that I call my project with the light ‘Weaving the Light’.” For Kimsooja, weaving has a profound meaning related to human existence: “Weaving is in a way breathing, it is living in a way because we don’t stop when we weave as if we breathe. Weaving is constant action, constant evolvement, and constant answer and interaction”. The rays of light dividing into colours have a special meaning in Korean: “For Westerners, you say rainbow colours but equally, we have a word in Korean called ‘obangsek’. “‘O’ means five, ‘bang’ means directionality and ‘sek’ means colour in Korean. So Obangsek means five directional colours “, and the colours represent South, North, East, West, and white as the centre. When using these five colours, Kimsooja reflects water, fire, earth, and air, but also different tastes like sour, bitter, sweet, and the seasons. All in Korean related to Confucianism and Taoism and some part from Buddhism: “East Asian philosophy, that consists of our selves, our fortune, and our universe. That is why I have always been using this colour pattern, not because I particularly like the colours itself, but because of the idea and the concept of it,” she says. Kimsooja’s woven light patterns embrace the idea of the other: “It always indicates the other, because, without the other, we cannot weave. I think it is the nature of life.” Kimsooja (born 1957 in Daegu, South Korea) is a South Korean, multi-disciplinary conceptual artist based in New York, Paris, and Seoul. Her practice combines performance, film, photo, and site-specific installation using textile, light, and sound. Kimsooja's work investigates questions concerning the conditions of humanity, while engaging issues of aesthetics, culture, politics, and the environment. Kimsooja’s work has been shown at major institutions over the world, including MoMA PS1 in 2001, Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in 2015. She represented Korea for the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013. She participated in documenta 14, in Kassel, the ANTIDORON – The EMST Collection in 2017, and has taken part in international biennials and triennials in Busan, Venice Gwangju, Moscow, Istanbul, and Manifesta 1, 1996, among others.

PAINTERS Fall/Winter 2021

무언가 안정이 되지 않은 길을 잃은듯한 이 상황 속에서 어딘가에 속할 곳이 없는 사람들의 삶 속에서 영감을 받았습니다. 혼란스러운 이 상황에서 스스로를 지키고픈 마음을 이미지화하여 벌키한 실루엣과 두터운 양감, 그리고 엉킨듯한 이 상황을 텍스처로 표현하였습니다. I was inspired by the people who are lost, doesn’t have anywhere to belong to in their life. I focused on visualizing self-protective mind as bulky silhouettes and thick volumes, as well as texturizing the tangled situations.
