The Scenic Beauty of Seomjin River
This exhibition of a Western style painter, Choi In-Soo, who has revealed the lyrical beauty of Seomjin River with watercolors, shows a certain level of artistic merit not only in his ability but also in his art's quality. All of his works in this exhibition shows off his own exquisite but ever-changeable intention, widely without permitting any mistakes as if they reflect his 15 years of experience in the aesthetics of water. It goes without saying that innumerable pieces of paintings and poems have been created to praise the seasonal scenic beauties of Seomjin River by many artists and poets, but he makes the crystal-clear lyrical world of the river with his own picturesque aesthetic sense as if it were the resting place of souls ornamented with thick green leaves of daylight.
His perfect understanding of the material property of waterpaints and paper, such as, abundant shading and gradation, free use of insufficiently soaked brushes, skillful touches of brushes, a great harmony of tones and depiction of colors, are integrated in the liberal but righteous composition method to evoke particular expressions from parts of the river onto the canvases. Especially, the traces of gradation, which are so strongly empathetic to evoke mystery rather than nature that they are likely to get the whole attention of the viewer, are as much deliberate as the waterway of Seomjin River.
This is because the images on the canvases, which catch not only the scattering sound but also the long breath of the wind, get out of the mere concept of the crust of things as they are and become something; for example, the breath of nature, which makes the resonant effects stir and emit to work as the subject of creation. Now, each of the beautiful works that both nature and the artist incarnate involves the fragmentary thoughts of transient ages of the river and becomes the purifier of past memories.
Apart from the paintings of figure and still life which reproduce objects based on mere minuteness and definitude while interpreting scenic beauties, Choi uses his own experienced skills of watercolor painting, among which he chooses the bold and precise stroke method and adds his abundant inner emotion in the process to make the works find their own shapes and broaden the width of the meaning of his pictures.
