Lee Ji Sun’s art life of research, ‘About the Color’ 색에 관하여

Images by Lee Ji Sun 

Located somewhere in the middle of the deep black universe, the sun constantly sends out great heat and bright light, keeping the distance from anything and anyone. People living in the border line receive the light on the ground far from the sun and perceive warm softness. At each moment where the light reaches the living things and springs back at the surface, the world wears all sorts of colors which make harmony with others.

Everywhere the light and the shadow go, the color follows to shape the objects and to put them in their background. The spectrum of uncountable hues whom the eyes cannot even catch the whole varies according to the temperature of the light, the texture of the surface, and the visual ability of the viewer. The panoramic landscape where all distinguished forms of colors are hanging spreads out in front of the eyes opened after getting out of the dark hole. Thus the color possesses its own appearance made by combination of accidents and intentions, and it coexists with others tinted pieces.

Blue sky, yellow chick and red apple… Childish connection between the objects and their named colors renew the relation by the generations in active mutation and under the technological innovation. In the contrary, the iris, purely fragile and deeply fantastic, serves as the permanent key of identification of the individual. Moreover, a sunny and clear scene of the day suddenly gets mixed with grey levels covered by heavy clouds, and pale violet cheeks find back the warm orange only with a cup of tea.

The perfume of differently dyed time and space sometimes meets someone with beauty or gives vertigo to some others. The shade covering the body is distinct today from yesterday and completes the outlook, as the flower changes its tones along the passage of hours.

The more the elements of light are layered, the more the addition of the water and the oil makes the profundity on the palette. An individual, born with his or her awn natural colors of skin and hair, lets them tanned, has them dyed, or makes them up. The rainbow paints laying on the canvas may resemble the pleasant day of the past or draw a frozen heart. Added to the contrast of brightness and darkness which engraves the presence of things, the color becomes itself the reason or the result of the existence.
