On Sun-Mi Lim¡¯s Ott painting exhibition
My first encounter with Sun-Mi Lim was at the Chun-Wang studio, it seemed as if she had just plunged herself into the vast sea of ott-painting and gazing at the horizon. But now I see an ott-painting artist taking vigorous strides towards her future. How proud I am of her!
In order to truly appreciate ott-painting one must understand its production process. There are three main procedures to the process.
First is the base work. Wood is often used in this process, however, other natural materials such as leather, linen, and paper according to the artist¡¯s preference may also be used. And then the base material is made flat and workable by plugging the holes with ash-ott, and/or texturizing wood grain, and/or attaching various materials
Second is materializing the artist¡¯s ideas. In this process, various techniques are utilized depending on the artist¡¯s creative aim. And in the process of drawing, painting, and sanding, the ott-painting, the chosen material, and the artist mature together. They, with their own individualities and characters, compromise and work together to create their own unique language. And at the end of this repetitive process, the product displays depth, lucidity, and elegance that are truly unique to ott-painting.
The last is finishing process involving polishing and preservation work. Generally, people seek to increase artificial shine, but some people leave off the last polishing to let ott¡¯s natural gloss displayed. The preservation work is needed in order to solve various problems when additional material other than ott is used or when the work has uneven surfaces (e.g. relief, sculpture).
Understanding these basic processes will enable the audience not only to sympathize with the artist, but also to approach ott-painting on more intimate level
Sun-Mi Lim has created comfortable art pieces by working through these processes. And her artworks show that she has indeed worked through these complicated processes.
Sun-Mi Lim displays tendency toward abstractionism through deconstruction of form and through multi-point of view. And these metamorphosed Korean themes, materials, and forms are further embellished with exotic adornments. Her works contain Korean traditional philosophy of art. These ott-paintings bring certain nostalgic longing for the traditional inner rooms; onto the demure ott base various familiar forms are displayed such as a gaily-colored pattern with auspicious words, and bedroom chest. As if sewing her needlework in women¡¯s quarters of the past, the artist shows Korean sentiment using our traditional material. And her exhibition of ott-paintings, a genre that is only beginning to take its first steps, is an affair that will enrich our art community.
I applaud her hard work and look forward to her next step into her ott-painting.
