김대관

Daekwan Kim

 

김대관의 작업은 흐르는 강물에 착상된 것이다. 강물은 우선 작가의 고향에 흘렀었다. 실제와는 상관없이 모든 고향에는 왠지 강이 흘렀던 것같고, 강이 흐를 때 고향은 더 고향다운 것 같고, 고향에 흐르는 강은 왠지 과거형으로 기술될 때에 더 적격인 것 같다. 그리고 강물은 작가가서있는 지금 여기에도 흐르고, 작가의 마음 속에도 흐른다. 모든 강물은 한줄기로 연결되어 있다. 원래 고향에 흐르던 강이 지금 여기 위로 차고 넘치고, 마침내, 내 마음 속에 마저 범람한 것. 이렇게 범람된 강물은 그 원천이 고향이란 점에서 모든 강물은 결국 그리움인 것. 그래서 강물을 그린다는 것은 곧 그리움을 그린다는 것.

Kim got the idea of his works from flowing river. River ran through his home. Regardless of whether it really ran, a river runthrough every home. Every countryside home is more homelike when a river runs through it, and one always thinks about theriver that ran through one’s home on reminiscing about it. A river is running both on the ground where the artist stands and inhis mind. All rivers converge into one. The river that ran through home flows and finally overflows in the artist’s mind. That a riveris always connected to the image of home in this artist’s consciousness finally leads to our recognition that all rivers signify hislonging for his old home. Therefore, drawing a river means expressing his longing for his original being with this artist.Notes :A Vast, Endless River Running through Our Reminiscent Mind by Kho Chung Hwan, Art Critic
