Marks of a fluid mind : seeking the contemporary spirit of sansuwha / Gyu-Joon Yang.

By: Publication details: [Auckland, N.Z. : Whitecliffe College of Arts and Design], 2006.Description: 50 pages : illustrations ; 30 cmSubject(s): Genre/Form: Online resources: Summary: As a painter trained in traditional Korean calligraphy and living as an immigrant in New Zealand, the author explores the proposition that the contemporary spirit of sansuwha (san = mountain, su = water, wha = traditional Korean landscape painting) finds a fluid space between abstract mark and hybrid mind. This spirit is an expression of the vital movement of the spirit, where the mind becomes one with the natural 'landscape' to bring unity, harmony and freedom. In traditional terms this references philosophical and symbolic dualities. Other dualities emerge in formal practice to parallel these, alongside which the author explores cultural hybridity to resolve in a new sense of identity, a new place to paint dualities.
