YOUNG JANG

Artsted Catalogue, 2023 Edition.

“We cannot leave out the story of the natural environment

in our life. It has been and will continue to be in the

past. I make works on the theme of harmony, coexistence

and the relationship between nature and humans in

such a life. There is 'naturalism' in Korean traditional culture.

In a modern society, where the climate crisis and

environmental problems are emerging, shouldn't we

look back on and imitate the hearts of nature and nature

contained in buildings such as hanok (Korean traditional

house) or ancient paintings.

- Ilwolosemo(sun, moon and 5 triangles)

It expresses the relationship between nature and humans

and the relationship itself by newly interpreting

and combining old paintings and traditional styles such

as "Ilwol Obongdo". Ilwol Obongdo, which symbolizes the

harmony of yin and yang and the dignity of the king,

goes further from the king to interpret and express harmony

as human dignity in modern society. Expressing

mountains in triangles symbolizes the coexistence of

nature and human beings. It is expressed along with

other beings such as the sun, moon, and waves, and the

triangle is naturally recognized as a mountain. Triangles

can be easily found in buildings and signs in our lives.

He is the most human and friendly figure in the world I

think. The triangle symbolizes the mountain, that is, nature,

and human society at the same time.”
