About the work

Staying at the Oharano Studio residency in Kyoto, Japan, the artist presents works that condense the sensations of observing nature at specific moments into the form of a “portrait.” A “portrait” is not merely a depiction of outward appearance, but an act of capturing the expression and emotion a being reveals at a particular point in time. Jang Geon-yul’s new works expand this traditional notion of portraiture to natural elements—clouds, flowers, and trees—gazing upon and recording their fleeting presence as if tracing a human life. In doing so, the artist renders the cycles of disappearance and emergence in nature as portraits of vanishing existence.

Changwon · b. 1992

My work begins by extracting formative elements that can be found in natural objects. It is to collect the formative beauty and aesthetical beauty of nature and reconstruct the canvas based on it. The images displayed on the screen are mainly expressed in the form of flowers or plants. For this case, the object shown in the form of a natural object is only an element used for color and formative harmony. Several flowers from a single stem are sometimes embodied as having different colors and shapes and some float the canvas without a starting point. Also, shapes unrelated to natural objects are placed in various places on the canvas and it is because the shapes on the canvas do not follow the biological structure of nature and it means that the images have their own form, not the result of imitation. Each formative element is recognized as a single piece in composing the canvas. A series of processes to approach the formative beauty by refining the shape until it has the desired shape is similar to working with a piece. The individual pieces completed at the same time act as an element again in the larger screen, serving as a small piece’s form. The finished pieces take the most harmonious position for the canvas composition. In this way, the process of deleting and inserting shapes until I reach the scene that I feel is the most beautiful can be said to be the process of creating a piece with a greater meaning. Flowers and plants we encounter in our daily life are kind subjects. Many of them are immobile and stationary in their place, but they appear in various forms that accommodate changes according to the environment. I do not perceive them as fixed or complete images, but accept them as formative elements of points, lines, planes, colors, and shapes. When I find a subject I want to collect among the forms created by natural objects, I draw on the spot. I extract the components or elements I want to be influenced by or needed for future work and bind them to my notes. At that time, I do not bring all the forms as they are, but remove the details and collect them in a condensed form. After that, I continue referring to the drawings in my binding and adapt the artistic senses that come from them, and I try to learn the formative aspects and the colors through this process. While repeating the process of mixing or refining the drawings collected and reinterpreted on the canvas, by accumulating harmony and order of the formative elements, I wanted to discover my own sense of aesthetics.
