Meet landscape which is beyond the beauty of flowers

Jong-Geun Kim(Art critic)

Chul-Hwan Park has painted with the theme of flowers placed in ceramics for a long time than any other artists. He worked as a full-time artists as much as his painted flowers are more than flowers in flower shops.

 

The level of realistic and reality of his paintings seems like that flowers in his paintings will diffuse real fragrance of flowers just like seen in his pictures.

At times, his pictures are so real like true flowers and is as realistic as a legend that birds fell trying to sit on branches of old pine trees painted by Solgeo.

Sizes are also as great as his screen forms a grandiose views and it is clear that his paintings are impossible works if there is no passion.

Majority of his art works are classic and traditional in ways of ｅxpression such as red magnolia and white magnolia to be with ceramics. In particular, motif handled and compositional parts, his extremely realistic ｅxpression method follow typical patters of still life paintings like Chardin.

I do not know well why he shows strong attachment to this motif which is a little traditional and universal. Moreover, I also did not ask questions why he concentrates on this realistic ｅxpression of flowers.

It is because that is the selection of the artist.

 

His flowers are filled fully only with beauty but some still life paintings are so realistic or decorated in such simplicity with sincerity like photographs being attached on walls.

I would like to ask questions before talking about his such paintings. What are differences of these pictures from other pictures and where can we find the nature of differentiation from other pictures? Perhaps he may answer that it is his excellent power of delineation and beautiful ｅxpression of flowers.

He tries to show the acme of beauty provided by realistic paintings with detailed and delicate touch of strokes in attraction while he based routine world of general still life than anything else.

Among affluent and diverse ｅxpression of flowers in various kinds and the harmony within ceramics, he specializes still life paintings or pictures of flowers.

One of the characteristics is that feeble and fascinating petals of flowers in each painting harmonize well with the modeling world of beautiful shape of ceramics.

However, he now tries to attempt showing a little freedom from such tenacious theme.

He recently paints waving blue ocean spaciously by getting out of such common theme of still life paintings. From my individual taste, I am watching at his efforts for this kind of changes with interests.

It is because already too many artists have attached to art works with theme of flowers and also creation of works with new ｅxpression forms is not easy as much.

His own techniques are also important. For example, revealing uniqueness by processing background in rough touches, showing diversification of pictures with viewing angles of ceramics from side and from the top, painting flowers in each different and diverse colors, techniques showing the highest techniques with perfect delineation and etc are successful elements pictures of Chul-Hwan Park accomplish whoever say what.

He knows so well that he shall not be complacent or buried in his own world even though he is succeeding in showing one accumulated image.

It is now the time to think about the depth of his philosophy changing from flowers to landscape of the ocean.

Blue oceans he is already showing are shaking his heart like challenge and ideals and rushing in waves of the sea. These landscapes represent just like reflecting his internal sceneries.

Now he draws them in as one scene. Those scenes approach as scenes containing the heart of the author while approaching near just like in perspectives. Finally, he proceeds into scenes containing his own emotion. In such sense, his paintings look honest than anyone else.

In addition, he now changes into the art of drawing within dynamic landscape from still life painting in the past.

His changes seem like discovery of forms to create his emotion into pictures instead of simple changes from flowers to the ocean.

Chul-Hwan Park demonstrates carefulness and maturity in changing delicate colors in the background and space of his works. He tries to introduce his own emotion into true beauty of nature.

Look at blue waves spreading in front of vast ocean, he leads us to the ocean through his screens with structure which is rushing in his perfect flow.

That is the invitation to unique and attractive space of Chul-Hwan Park.

It goes without saying that his faithful ｅxpression power and realistic techniques are strength of his paintings which make these possible.

I think about how it will be if he expresses impressive ocean by going to the ocean while tying himself to a ship just like sincere William Turner for his excellent power of ｅxpression without stopping at containing the truth of nature.

I have no doubts that impressive works putting together lines, lights and ｅxpression of space as well as going over between plane and 3D will become the biggest turning point in the art world of Chul-Hwan Park.

Among artists, there are artists who repeat the same patterns of stable theme continuously instead of new theme.

I sincerely expect that excellent ｅxpression power and the deep contents of philosophy in the characteristics of his works will stay with his paintings while looking at art works of Chul-Hwan Park.

That is possible with stormy touches of strokes containing hearts of people instead of simple sceneries.

He is an author recognized by himself and others that he is a leading author in his extremely excellent power of ｅxpression and in groups of authors in the field of embodiment. He will grow as a true realist artist when his such strong points are displayed on his screens by going beyond the sate of simply containing only impressions of things pictured.
