Knar:
Knots are formed by secreting an extract to heal itself when a tree becomes ill
It is a word that refers to a wound on a tree, a “callus” embedded in the body, and a figuratively emotional feeling in the heart.
Wood knots are a healing process.
This painting depicts wounds, healing, life, and hope.
Through the sense of the rhythm of the lines that fill the screen and the shapes of unknown creatures placed on the entire screen,
The painter shows signs of trying to paint a living picture.
Amazing work hard to imagine.
What's even more surprising is that the artist is the world's first painter to pioneer the soil art genre by classifying the soil into hundreds.
His earthen art is an area that has pioneered a new genre of art history.
Bringing life to the canvas.
soil painter
Even looking at the painter's paintings,
it's hard to believe that soil can express so many colors.
This is really unique
Only one in the world
Not in the past and perhaps not even after ...

I want to put the image of eternity in my heart and draw it on canvas. I have been using soil as a material since 1997, leading the earth painting genre in the world of art history. I had a desire to break away from the same art form. My discovery experience commenced by erasing my past experiences and knowledge. The soil is cozy and warm. It is comfortable and calm. This feeling cannot be felt with the color of paint. This initiated the possibility of discovering a new perspective for the essence of things. I started by rejecting the techniques I enjoyed in the past. When as a painter you are free from this burden, you can discover a fresh sense of nature and begin to see the depth and the clarity.
Art is a new discovery
Colors that cannot be expressed with paints. The struggle with the soil to get it
Even if I wrestle with the soil day and night like this, there is a color that is so rare that it disappears with a single brushstroke.
It was a process to find originality
Beautiful paintings are great works. However, it is not a work of art or a cultural property.
I think a work of art, first, must have originality, and secondly, no one should be able to imitate it
The beauty of nature is all contained in my work.
It is the most original work that no one can imitate, and it has the best fit for the era of pursuing pure art and returning to nature
