Hwang, Nam Gyu- The Scenary the Mind Desires
Park, Young Taek (Professor of Kyonggi University, Art Critic)
The everyday objects are presented rather in a unique way. As the forms of the objects are inflated significantly or reduce them smaller, the changes in the size of the familiar objects gives the impression of strange and wonderful. As if it was expanded by breathing air into it or as if it was a large object for advertisement it is place. And on the other side, it seems like we are looking at stationery product created with a cute design.
Although it is a representation of real objects, they are usually bigger or smaller and resembles of an object that has been simplified. It is a another form of a diversified object that resembles the existing shape of an object. They are in self-existence in the space by resembling similar characters, pop icons, or cartoon images. The unfamiliarity of the familiar objects as well as the sweet and familiarity, facing the strangeness of everyday objects through changes in their sizes, sculpture frame that positively attracts design elements, and the installation production which has naturally placed everyday objects in different pedestals, around the floor and space are eye catching. In addition, with colorful and urbane automotive paints, the objects that came back to life with a different color skin as a result of being artificially colored as pastel, they change into fascinating subjects that have based on esthetics of consumer goods in te society along with de-realization.
An automobile is the most luxurious consumer goods and it is a symbol and an object that represents a person's social status and wealth, preference, and taste. In that sense the brand and color of the automobile becomes a sensitive selection criteria in the consumer society. In addition, the colors reveal the common desires and preferences. The doctor things that were painted with the same automotive paint erased their own colors and were recreated into artificial colors.
The objects that are bursting of clear and strong colors approach us as sweet or fascinating subjects. Each object in the world that we eager always have a colorful and sweet sugarcoated pill like the poisonous mushrooms. The artist is dramatizing the seducing characteristics of those subjects.
Hwang, Namgyu created images that suggest high heels, chair, tree along with an automobile, four leaves clover, apple, cloud, and energy. On the simple and implicit form of surface, a various forms of human beings are inlaid on the surface in lines. The appearance of the human beings stuck closely together with artificial skin looks strange. Largely, they are separated by artificial subjects and natural subjects but on the other hand they are symbolizing human desire, the real world surrounding the conflict and competition, greed, selfishness, and power and at the same time they are also consisting of social situations that show healing and hope away from those hurtful things and the Utopian world. Nature is being set as place and space that saves the human beings of the reality system. Maybe because of that reason but these two different areas surfaces out of one body. The form of an apple connecting number of people aggregated into one, a palm tree growing out of a car, a four leaf clover growing out a man's neck wearing a suit, and a car, chair, and shoes on one axis all appear. On the surfaces of all these objects are inlaid with human forms and there are human images that have been encoded in line briefly. All the human forms are in poses that look like they are dancing. They are symbolic humans that are made into look happy, filled with joy, and thrilled with joy. As it approaches into the target, in the end, the scene of the surface becoming one is made. It is tenaciously clinging to the surface of the apple, high heels, chair, and the surface of the automobile and it is also inlaid on the tree and cloud, cloud, and others. The desire of humans are transcendental yet mundane and sometimes the two conflicting desires are tangled into one body structure. Actually, living requires people to continuously desire something or it would be difficult to live. Especially in the modern society, the systems that boil the desire to further escalate in the society is dense. On the other hand, humans also miss the state where they are free from all the traps of desire. This ambivalent and contradictory dream grows in one body simultaneously.
The scenary shown by Hwang, Nam Gyu is the appearance of a modern person who is chasing after desire and at the same time, a person who wants to return to nature by escaping from the competitive structure of power and capital, materials and worldly desires or it also reveals a desire for the ideal world which is the opposite of that world.
In the end, the artist is honestly showing his pure desire that he dreams of. This is also bordering the Utopian and a kind of longing for ideals. To the artist, the world that he expressed through flowers, trees, clouds, and others is that world. Universally, the way that natural beauty is presented as the ideal world is a very familiar thing in the Eastern culture. Landscape painting is that of the context and a folk story falls in that category. Actually, all the images proposed and implemented the Utopias of the time. By borrowing the magical power of the images, the artists are showing that world in a virtual and welcoming way.
The scenary of Ipseok-ri, Sudong-myeon, Masuk where Hwang, Nam Gyu's studio is located was remarkably quiet and graceful. Especially, beautiful mountains were spread out like a Byeongpung (Korean folding screen) in front of his studio. While living in the nature and spending a certain period of time while working, I believe that the artist suddenly began to focus on the healing powers of the nature. The hard times he spent living in the city and the weight of the harshness of the real life in the meantime appear to have sunken a little bit down. Actually, the studio space of an artist and the surrounding scenary and environment obviously change the world of an artist. The work is produced in nature that is impossible to produce in the city. Through sculpture, he is embodying the simple but urgent dreams and ideals of a human being.
Hwangnamgyu - A Creative Mind desire
Scientists (Kyonggi University professor, art critic)
Production of everyday objects is a little step forward. Naegeona greatly exaggerated form of small, familiar objects as reduction of the size of the strange and wonderful feeling. It was the expansion seemed to breathe the air of things, like an object or a large commercial and situated on the other hand finished with a cute design is deutdo see paensiyongpum. It is the representation of the real thing but it is larger than or smaller, and the like to simplify things, breaks down place. Existing resembling the shape of things samulin semyida another. They are similar to, or cartoon characters and papjeok icon resembling a body image and self-esteem is in space. Natseomgwa sweet familiarity of things at the same time familiar, everyday objects through changes in the size of the strange face, dragging design elements gave a positive piece construction, different jwadaena around the floor and space as everyday objects placed on the natural seolchijeok production and conspicuous. In addition to automotive paints colorful and cosmopolitan, it is colored in pastel shades of artificial things are reincarnated into a different skin bihyeonsilgamgwa deals with the aesthetics of the consumer society is based on the attractive target turns. Auto Miata is the most luxurious consumer goods and social status and wealth of an individual, and revealing the symbol and the taste is typical products and objects. In that sense, the car brand and color selection criteria of the consumer society is the most sensitive. In addition, the colors reveal the common desires and preferences. Painted with automobile paint things like that decision to clear the original color of the artificial color has been reborn. Crisp and bursting with intense color, or that things are sweet and comes with a fascinating subject. In reality, each one eager gorgeous and sweet, like target danguijeong the poisonous mushroom that surrounds the law. The author evokes the target of temptation and availability are more polarized.
Gross hwangnam high heels, a chair, with cars and trees, four-leaf Clover, apples, clouds, energy and made suggestive shape. And ended in the form of a simple implicit lines drawn on the surface of various human figure has been inlaid. Bageulgeorineun closer to artificial skin appearance of human beings are strange.
Largely artificial things, and nature are separated by a hand of human desire, the real world surrounding the conflict and competition, greed, selfishness, power, revealing the symbol deulyija simultaneously from him beyond healing and hope, utopian world, the award show situations is made. System, nature of reality, a place of human salvation, the space has been set. So what of the two other areas come as a body surfaced. Accomplished a great many people are connected and integrated in the form of an apple, palm trees growing in the car, the neck of people growing up in a suit and a four-leaf Clover axis cars, chairs, shoes, and stir. Sanggamdoen on the surface of all things, human figures, a human image is encoded in a brief line is drawn. All men who like dancing pojeuda. Thrilled to kick in a good mood for celebration, happy yeonchulhae situation has already become visible symbolic human. Approaching the surface and eventually into the target has become a no wonder you are making. Surface of the apple, heels, chair, car threshold tenacious clinging to the surface of the tree and the clouds, the clouds are inlaid deungedo. The human desire contrary to the transcendental and worldly desires, yet the structure is a body tangled prayer. Something that continues to live without desire is difficult to be set. Moreover, modern society, heightening the desire of the boiling point in a system that is like some dense. Meanwhile, all the desires of the human condition also misses out of the trap. Ambivalent and contradictory two dreams at the same time a body grows.
Gross picture showing hwangnam the appearance of modern people and the desire to chase the same time the material and worldly desires, power and capital in the competitive structure of the natural ear off holyeon or the opposite of him and the world will also reveal a desire for the ideal. It eventually as his dream is eager to show honest desire to sunyeonhan. It kind of utopia, and is bordered with a yearning for utopia. For authors flowers, trees, clouds, etc. Represented the world is it. Common appearances of nature is presented as the ideal world is very familiar in Eastern cultures. So is there such a context, and folk paintings. In fact, all images of utopia in the present era, and has been implemented. Taking the magical power of images in a virtual world, the show was to be welcomed.
Gross hwangnam to manually Hearthstone's studio is located in front of studio picture Ipseok-ri was a remarkably peaceful and graceful. In particular, like a screen full of beautiful lies in front of a mountain studio. Live in nature, and constant work to spend time during the healing power of nature writers cavity seems to have noticed. Lived in the town hard last time, the harshness of the real life, meantime, gave the weight seems to be going down a little. The fact that artists' studio space and the surrounding landscape, the environment, of course, the world turns an author's work. Ganeungchi not work in the city comes out in nature. He slices through the simple but urgent than the human will and dreams are embodied.
