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.
