Description
Delicate systematic scratches revealing a dual undertone; rhythmic yet ad hoc strokes whisking the painterly surface; fine wisps skirting the edges of the page. Each are elements composing the delicate, process-driven work of seminal Korean artist Cho Yong-Ik (b. 1934), who rose to prominence in the mid 60s following his studies at Seoul National University before passing in the 70s to the Dansaekhwa rubric of expression[1]. Edouard Malingue Gallery is thrilled to present the first major solo survey of Cho and to investigate how he at once championed its key tenets – repetition, meditation and tranquility through placing the ‘act of making’ at the heart of creation – yet differentiated himself from other Dansaekhwa artists by permitting subtle hints of colour to grace his work and placing a further emphasis on energetic materiality.
