Produktbeschreibung
The artist Yang YounHee emerged on the global art scene with a welcomed and more humanist brand of contemporary art. Hers is a vision that rehabilitates the idea that art practice can carry the weight of the noble, through an aesthetic sensibility that is inner-directed and genial. It substantiates the quiet integrity of the artist, as a much needed antidote to the unrelenting offerings of the glib, the abject, and the perverse. This vision is centered within the wisdom of her age. By embracing its knowledge and representing its moods, she has evolved an art practice that grows from both the beauty and the imperfections of the human being. Yang is a representational painter, but she is not a "realist" painter. She does not prioritize the task of illusion creation as the subject or philosophy of her practice. When you enter Yang's paintings, you find yourself stepping into an extraordinary world, and the complex of knowledge, experience, and moods that amounts to it. Yang YounHee pursues her painting to meet life's basic need for personal expression. Her art making originates from an existential need to create.- - - Die Künstlerin Yang YounHee ist in der globalen Kunstszene mit einem willkommenen humanistischen Ansatz bekannt geworden. Ihre Vision erneuert die Idee, dass künstlerische Praxis das Edle tragen kann, und zwar durch ihre nach innen gerichtete und warmherzige ästhetische Sensibilität. Dieser Ansatz untermauert die ruhige Integrität der Künstlerin und fungiert als ein dringend benötigtes Gegenmittel gegen das unerbittliche Überangebot des Oberflächlichen, des Erbärmlichen und des Perversen in der zeitgenössischen Kunst. Diese Vision Yangs ist in der Weisheit ihres Alters verankert. Sie hat eine künstlerische Praxis entwickelt, die durch die Einbeziehung des Wissens und die Darstellung der Stimmungen dieser Weisheit aus der Schönheit und der Unvollkommenheit des menschlichen Wesens erwächst. Yang ist eine gegenständliche Malerin, aber keine "realistische" Malerin. Sie hat sich nicht die Erschaffung von Illusion zur Hauptaufgabe gemacht. Wenn man in Yangs Bilderwelten eindringt, findet man sich in einer außergewöhnlichen Welt wieder und begegnet den vielschichtigen Erkenntnissen, Erfahrungen und Stimmungen, die diese Werke ausmachen. Yang YounHee strebt durch ihre Malerei danach, dem grundlegenden Bedürfnis des Lebens nach persönlichem Ausdruck gerecht zu werden. Ihre Kunst entspringt einem existenziellen Bedürfnis, etwas Neues zu schaffen.
