Ce kakemono est composé de motifs issus du Dancheong, identité visuelle coréenne, qu’on ne peut manquer de remarquer partout dans la ville et dont j’ai voulu rapporter un peu jusqu’en France. Très esthétique par ses couleurs et sa symétrie, le Dancheong est l’art décoratif des constructions traditionnelles coréennes et de certains objets. Il se base sur de nombreux motifs inspirés par la nature et la religion et se compose de cinq couleurs qui représentent les points cardinaux et le centre de la boussole (bleu, blanc, rouge, noir et jaune). En plus d’être décoratif, il protège le bois et permet d’intégrer les bâtiments de façon harmonieuse dans les paysages coréens.
As I was discovering the city of Seoul during a (too) short trip at the end of 2016, I noticed that the south korean capital was filled of top fascinating locations to visit. In front of the Gyeongbokgung, the Deoksugung (two royal palaces), the Changdeokgung (prospering virtue palace), the Jongmyo (confucian shrine), the Jogyesa (bouddhist temple) or any other religious or historic building, every occidental visitor (like me) is amazed by the size and the high quality showcase of the city heritage. Every site is well preserved and restored. I was really fascinated, particularly by traditional buildings and their colourful and graphic ornaments, but also by the contemporary architecture.
My artwork is composed by Dancheong patterns, which are like a visual identity of Korea. You can’t miss it, it’s everywhere in Seoul and I wanted to bring it back with me in France. So esthetic with its colours and its symmetry, Dancheong is a decorative art of objects and korean traditional architecture. It is based on various natural and religious patterns and composed by five colours (blue (east), white (west), red (south), black (north) and yellow (center)). Apart from being decorative, it is also a wood protection and an harmonious way to fit buildings in korean landscapes.
