In questi lavori Ha Chong-Hyun utilizza strumenti per spingere il colore a olio, monocromo, dal retro della tela grezza fino a farlo filtrare ed emergere attraverso la superficie. Successivamente, l\u2019artista stende la vernice sul fronte della tela con il pennello o con la spatola, dando corpo a un&#8217;ampia variet\u00e0 di composizioni astratte.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>La mostra alla Cardi Gallery, Milano presenta una selezione di opere della serie\u00a0<strong>Conjunction<\/strong>, sia storiche che pi\u00f9 recenti, fino a\u00a0<strong>un<\/strong><strong>\u00a0nucleo realizzato appositamente per l\u2019occasione<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nei lavori esposti in galleria,<span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"> la classica palette di colori neutri e blu profondi utilizzata da Ha Chong-Hyun si arricchisce di altre intense tonalit\u00e0 di blu, rosso e nero,<\/span> il cui uso deriva dall&#8217;impegno dell&#8217;artista nell&#8217;esplorazione dei colori caratteristici degli interni coreani.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Il rosso vermiglio<\/strong><\/span>, in particolare, rappresenta un elemento di novit\u00e0, essendo entrato a far parte della pratica di Ha Chong-Hyun solo dal 2018: questo rosso-arancio vivido comparso nella sua produzione con\u00a0<strong>Conjunction 18-12<\/strong>\u00a0(2018)<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong> viene dai motivi decorativi noti come\u00a0<em>dancheong<\/em><\/strong><\/span>, spesso usati per arricchire strutture in legno e strumenti musicali coreani tradizionali.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ha Chong-Hyun e gli artisti della sua generazione quali Lee Ufan, Park Seobo, Kwon Young-woo, Yun Hyong-keun e Chung Sang-hwa sono conosciuti come membri del movimento Dansaekhwa, termine che letteralmente significa &#8220;pittura monocromatica&#8221;, ma che definisce tanto le tecniche impiegate quanto l\u2019estetica riduzionista a cui il gruppo fa riferimento.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">La stesura della vernice, le tele imbevute, le <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">matite trascinate, la carta strappat<\/span>a e i materiali manipolati che caratterizzano l\u2019approccio di\u00a0<strong>questi artisti hanno cancellato e ridefinito i confini che fino a quel momento separavano il disegno a inchiostro dalla pittura a olio, la stessa pittura dalla scultura, e l&#8217;oggetto dallo spettatore.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Questa mostra offre l&#8217;opportunit\u00e0 di approfondire la conoscenza di un artista, ancora in attivit\u00e0, il cui lavoro\u00a0<strong>ha sfidato la definizione tradizionale di pittura e ha contribuito ad aprire un nuovo e vitale capitolo dell&#8217;arte visiva coreana.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La mostra sar\u00e0 accompagnata da un catalogo con un\u00a0<strong>testo del critico d&#8217;arte Francesco Bonam<\/strong>i.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Ha Chong-Hyun<\/strong>\u00a0vive e lavora a Seul da quando si \u00e8 laureato all&#8217;Universit\u00e0 di Hongik nel 1959.

On view\u00a0<strong>from 18 September \u2013 20 December 2019<\/strong>, the exhibition will feature works from his\u00a0<em>Conjunction<\/em>\u00a0series from 1992 to 2019.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ha Chong-hyun is one of the pioneering figures in the postwar art history and leading figure of Korea Dansaekhwa movement<\/strong>. Amid the extreme material deprivations and an authoritarian political system during the 1960s and 1970s,\u00a0<strong>he explored the potential of unorthodox materials<\/strong>\u00a0such as newsprint, scrap lumber, and barbed wire attached to canvas. Working with muted earth tones on burlap and hemp canvases while combining painting traditions from both the East and the West,\u00a0<strong>Ha was instrumental in redefining the role of painting that challenged the strict delineation between sculpture, painting, and performance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In 1974, he began to focus on the materiality of paint and canvas as more than a mere support through\u00a0<strong>the\u00a0<em>Conjunction<\/em>\u00a0series<\/strong>, the name that the artist has given to all of his paintings since the early 1970s and that\u00a0<strong>describes his philosophy wherein the purity of the painting medium and the artist\u2019s physicality merge, or are conjoined, in the act of painting<\/strong>. In these works, he uses tools to push monochrome oil paint through the back of coarsely woven burlap so that it protrudes through the surface. Thereafter he brushes or smears the paint into a wide variety of abstract compositions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The exhibition at Cardi Gallery, Milan presents\u00a0<strong>new and recent works from the\u00a0<em>Conjunction<\/em>\u00a0series<\/strong>\u00a0that use not only his signature palette of neutrals and navy, but also rich hues of blue, red and black. Ha\u2019s use of red, blue, and vermillion shows the artist\u2019s commitment to exploring colors seen in mundane surroundings in Korea. In particular, the vermillion color is new, that became part of Ha\u2019s practice starting only last year. The vivid, red-orange color seen in\u00a0<em>Conjunction 18-12<\/em>\u00a0(2018) was inspired by the colorful patterns known as dancheong that are used for decorating wooden structures and traditional Korean musical instruments.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ha Chong-hyun and his peers came to be known as the Dansaekhwa movement, which includes artists such as Lee Ufan, Park Seobo, Kwon Young-woo, Yun Hyong-keun, and Chung Sang-hwa. Although the term literally means \u201cmonochrome painting,\u201d it is defined by the methods employed as much as its reductionist aesthetics. The artists variously pushed paint, soaked canvas, dragged pencils, ripped paper, and otherwise manipulated materials in ways that\u00a0<strong>troubled the distinctions separating ink painting from oil, painting from sculpture, and object from viewer.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>This comprehensive exhibition at Cardi Gallery, Milan provides an invaluable opportunity to experience an artist whose work has challenged the traditional definition of painting and helped open a new and vital chapter in Korean abstract art<\/strong>. Still active in his eighties, the show will include both historical works as well as paintings made specifically for the exhibition.<\/p>\n<p>Accompanying the exhibition is a book on the artist with\u00a0<strong>a text by art critic Francesco Bonami<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><strong>Ha Chong-Hyun<\/strong>\u00a0has lived and worked in Seoul since graduating from Hongik University in 1959. From 1990 to 1994, he served as the Dean of the Fine Arts College at Hongik University and was the Director of the Seoul Museum of Art from 2001 to 2006.<\/p>\n<p>Ha has had major solo exhibitions at Espace Paul Ricard, Paris (1999); Mudima Foundation of Contemporary, Milan (2003); and Gyeongnam Art Museum, Changwon, South Korea (2004). In addition, he represented South Korea in major international art exhibitions such as Paris Biennale in 1961; S\u00e3o Paolo Art Biennale in 1967 and 1977; Venice Biennale in 1995; and Prague Biennale in 2009.
