The
Reality and Truth about Suh Yongsun¡¯s Paintings (Honorary
Professor, Seoul National University) Suh Yongsun seems to have drawn his
paintings with the kind of spirit that would bring down a mountain and move it
with his bare hands. Such spirit and temerity broke through the walls of the history
of art and displayed itself in a highly energetic form. Although it is unclear
whether Suh deployed ¡®primitiveness¡¯ as his weapon or he found that he had reached
a status of ¡®primitiveness¡¯ one day, it may be said that the world of the
unknown displayed itself in a visual form through Suh¡¯s paintings. Suh¡¯s paintings seem to display the
elements of both the most realistic and supernatural anecdotes. They seem to
take the form of something that endeavors to destroy the outer layer of the skin
and interact directly with one¡¯s inner world. Accordingly, it may be said that
Suh endeavored to search for something of spiritual value. The river of history
flows deep down within Suh¡¯s understanding of reality. Suh was never fond of anything
that was refined, bright, elegant and graceful. He swallowed his anger and
treated everything that he perceived, including a series of unfortunate events
in history, with affection. The truth of Suh¡¯s art lies in the place that is
unequivocally void of pretense and hypocrisy. Despite the dishonor that was brought
upon the nation after losing its independence, there was no painting that showed
the rage the Korean people felt; not even one. Artists failed to paint the
independence movement that took place throughout the country. Moreover, did any
one draw a painting that depicted the elation the people felt after the nation¡¯s
liberation from colonial rule? Not one single artist depicted the tragedy of
the Korean War between the two Koreas. Furthermore, how did the artists respond
to the April 19 Movement against corruption and injustice, and to the democratic
movement of the 1970s and 1980s? How can art be whole without acknowledging
reality? Indeed, Suh¡¯s paintings provide us with the opportunity to ponder the
true meaning of art. Virgil, Gheorghiu, author of the 25th
hour said, ¡°A poet¡¯s heart breaks when the world is in pain¡± when he visited
Seoul. In other words, it would indeed be strange if an artist¡¯s heart did not
ache in spite of the pain the world was experiencing. Suh¡¯s paintings certainly have a
fascinating power that engages the viewers. He uses bold brush strokes that
show no hesitation. One is overwhelmed before he or she can even think about
what the paintings depict. It feels like staring at an area filled with some
kind of energy that is surrounded by an immense power of silence. To uncover
the meaning of such silence, one must be able to identify what it is that is
flowing towards eternity within the silence. |
