영혼의 자리(Seat of the Soul) 죠셉 초이(Josheph Choi)는 프랑스에서 활동하는 진정한 회화가이다. 단순히 작가나 예술가라고 지칭하지 않고 회화가라고 부르는 것은, 그가 회화적 회화(painterly painting)를 추구하면서도 불가사의한 우리의 삶의 문제를 절실하게 파헤치기 때문이다. 회화적 회화란 회화 자체가 무엇인가라는 근원적 질문(대전제) 아래 회화의 새로운 가능성을 추구하는 일련의 회화 작품을 뜻한다. 19세기 중반 서구에서 반전통의 기류가 일어났고 20세기Continue reading “JOSEPH CHOI”
