Opening: 2010. 5. 6. (Thu) 6pm
People will have a rare glimpse of "modern" Impressionistic painting on Korean and European scenery, depicted by a mid-career Austrian artist who is fascinated by warm heart of Korean people and spicy taste of kimchi zzigae (stew). A total of 25 oil paintings of Korean and European nature will be exhibited at Raemian Art Gallery, Seoul from May 6 (Thu) to May 20 (Thu) 2010.
He prefers to paint in the outdoors in the midst of the nature depicting Korean landscapes and his most famous piece of art has been on "Acha-Mountain." Apart from Korean nature he has been capturing the scenic splendor of Italy and Austria. His paintings amalgamate buildings and nature into one. Various shades of green, blue and purple colors contrast the warm tones, a technique which Impressionists used to capture the fleeting moment of an instant.
Artist's Statement
"Modern Art does not renounce previous creative traditions. Art that can endure should be connected and developed based on the past."
"Creative work is a way of retreating, cutting oneself off from disturbing influences, which prevent one from understanding the self."
"What I find important is the intensive relationship with nature and all its life energy and character, not particularly the theoretical dimension. That is why the exact study of nature and its manifestation is the most essential part of my creative art."
