the turbulent turning point rapidly changing differently day by day such

industrial society to the high technology era,
and IT industry regarding as the flower of the information-oriented period,
again, etc., so that the final stronghold of human being will be placed

considerations and prejudice get through the common sense of our art circle
would be the triggering thing urging reflection to the artists living today.
Keumbong Park Hyoung-bo(69), this paper is chosen as the cover artist of
new year Jan. month issue, 2004 is the leading figure of our painting circles
getting the time almost half a century consistently along the only way as
the Korean artist. In this page, it is focused and searched for the artist's
life and art world highly appropriated the model figure of our painting
circles as well as living witness having been the central part in the development
of Oriental picture and the painting in the Korean literary artist's style.
The artist's life
Keumbong Park Hyoungbo was born on the artist's town of Korean southern
end, Jindo, 1935. This town being famous for the Southern province sound
and the place of exile of old scholars such as the Confucian, as well
is the place where come out the great leaders of Korean art circles, Sochi
and Euijae, Namnong, and the calligrapher, Sojeon, etc, and a vein of
ore of tradition in the Korean art is to sprout in this town. The artist,
Park Hyoung-bo learned the Oriental painting to Euije Heo Baek-nyoun scholar,
the Calligraphy to Sojeon Son Jae-hyoung. In one word, he was taught both
masters of the top in the Korean art circles at the same time realizing
the principle that there is no essential difference between the picture
and the calligraphy.
For that reason, his talent and possibility are something out of the
common, and his creative spirit has been made a lot of models in our art
world. The artist going on the painting circle as to the old national
art exhibition won the special prizes as many as 6 times from 1968 to
1977, in 1973, he won the prize of the minister of Education-Information
in the national art exhibition and in 1974, won the best prize in the
painting in the literary artist's style part, at that time, that is, the
prize of the Prime Minister. And in 1980, winning the recommended artist
prize in the national art exhibition, so recorded the name as the most
winning artist in those days.
The artist appropriated that he was the genius in the picture from learning
period of the private school as the story that special talent of Korean
landscape is outstanding, so it is difficult to recognize to own thing
in everyone's mouth remind that time as such. He expresses his thought
that ein the 6 law of Sa Hyouk, there are saying that it copies the picture
of the master, as well. At that time, under the circumstance the modern
art education was not exist, because there was the time being
impossible for being instructed not following the teacher's taught in
each one such as using brush and India ink, spreading out the inky water
and dying, Bi Baek and coloring, etc. having affairs at hand was the best
educational method. I consider the teaching of the saying of ancestors
that one should not step on the shadow of their teacher, or the lesson
that they learn the philosophy and phenomena of their teachers, but the
pictures only are drawn by themselves seem the wise saying being themselves
today. What Drew copying on study papers hard seems that isolates under
the teacher like the Western old saying 'creation starts from imitation',
and it was the outpost work to go out of home. Anyway, considering of
being myself today getting through the changing process of Su, Pa, Li
coming out in the painting theory, I can not forget the great grace taking
from the teacher' he says.
The work world of Park Hyoung-bo
He is the rare leading figure of Korean painting circle and the man of
ability constantly seeking for the principle
that there is no essential difference between the picture and the calligraphy.
The theme and spirit making up of the basis of his art is philosophy of
consideration based on the Oriental purifying phenomena and young and
old phenomena, Zen and Buddhist phenomena to the central core. In other
words, in the basis of art mode he is searching for, national spirit or
artistic spirit consistently appear to the spiritual theme, and he continues
rich researches such as landscape and literary paintings, paintings in
India ink and colored pictures, artistic mode and material test, etc.,
until now. Going back his landscape pictures to the early time, searching
for the gradual and slow change, so that, coming to today, but it enables
to point that the width of the change is considerably the big one. So
called, he has succeeded in making today's own personality and modeling
method to the continuous experiments of colors and materials, etc. starting
from the ideal traditional method up to the search of fresh modeling sense
that experimental character is strong, the plane setting -up of modern
sense.
These successive art works could confirm in elandscape exhibition of
new form' announcing in Zen artist's studio preview, last time, at that
time, the impression giving the fresh shock in our painting circles still
feel like a trailing note. At that time, describing to add the display
works little more, it enables to point to the tremendous change not finding
in his modelling method until that time such as plane setting-up excluding
the perspective, dividing slow curve and structure of the garden city
to geometric line and side, expressing the Korean strong color effect,
folding Chinese paper into many leaves, so introducing relif material
sense of stone tower cutting just as angular affection of stonecutter,
etc. Especially, his paper work is highly appreciated that the Koreans'
feeling of the country of calm and silent morning that own Koreans' modesty
and virtue, aesthetics of tolerance and reserve are condensed has strongly
got. And also, seeing the subjects he is chosen, the screen being the
landscape painting as well as full over the literary spirit is developed
such as the suburbs of cities or free country landscape, seaside landscape,
mountainous ends of the Southern landscape and cliff of therock wall,
clear and blue valley, and pastoral countryside scenery, etc. broken with
the
appearance of people reproducing
in the fetters of asphalt civilization and very happy flow of mountain drawing
to the smooth line like mother's breast, etc.
The works revealing the hometown keeping the eternal story and tradition,
home of heart giving birth and growing, home's taste and smell delineation
of feeling and homesick are put in enable to regard as making up the extreme
end of his art.
