About Artist 

 

Eom Chang-Young (1934-, Korea)

Eon Chang-Young works are about Charms that bring out energy in the universe and unseen strength. Originally human beings use a charm to repel three disasters such as the disaster of the sky, the disaster of the earth and discord within people, to live ever-young and to defend the country peacefully. By the scented tree charm, a mysterious charm added with artistic qualities, it will be a chance to experience this special and mysterious ambience of art and culture.

Yi Wan-Gyo (1940-, Korea)

Yi Wan-Gyo¡¯s works are on emptying the mind. It is not the eyes nor the ears but the heart and soul that sees, listens and hears. This is how one can obtain the energy in the universe. This old tradition and philosophy is portrayed in his works which reminds us of calligraphic paintings, and through these works we hope people can find peace and emotional balance in oneself.

Through his landscapes what he sees is Nirvana. It is about emptying the three things, greed, anger and foolishness and reaching the state of peace where there is true aura, and forgetting about specific beings and becoming the source.

In Asia, black and white are the basic colors of all colors. He works with these two colors and with different tones shows the depth and shape. The black and white in Yi Wan Gyo¡¯s photography is about the unless changes in the energy that exists in the universe. Through eastern perspective and philosophy he tries to reach peacefulness and enjoyment in silence.

Han Chung Shik (1937-, Korea)

Han Chung Shik¡¯s photography tries to find object¡¯s value and meaning. His ¡®tranquility¡¯ series takes on board an eastern philosophical perspective, on emptiness, and in order to reach this state of emptiness one must take stages of restricting oneself and separating oneself from others to reach a state of calm. His meditative works go beyond changes and disappearance, and lead us to a state of calmness.

Ari Kakkinen (1966-, Finland)

Ari Kakkinen¡¯s works are a meeting point of eastern and western philosophy where his works show eastern meditation through western aesthetics. Place, space, being is all covered in white cloth, and only the form exists. Those that are unseen become seen, and his works are a record of symbolic mediation.

Eelco Brand (1969-, Netherland)

Eelco Brand creates a dream-like nature through a process created by man. Through his works he tries to portray the freedom and will that exists both in nature and human beings. He relies on imagination and creates nature through digital technology, and the results are a dream-like landscape that seems like reality but which does not exist in reality.
