Layers of Memory and Image
About Choi Young Wook’s Moonjar work - Kang Hong Goo As an everyday article, the Moonjar was lauded by many visual artists sharing the same idea with You Hong June who pointed out the beauty of it in terms of "warm pure white color, the beauty of liberal form, gentle and virtuous taste coming from the indefinite form, and the ultimate beauty of all those mixed together". The artist Kim Whan Ki who also has left many works about the Moonjar was an admirer and said as follows. I have not seen as flaws in our pot. NAll that rounds are not the same. Everything is white but the white is not the same.
Nothing can be mysteriously beautiful than this simple round shape and pure white. There is a speed and movement in our calm pot. The surface is warm though it is cold porcelain It is the perfection of formative beauty indeed. I do not think it is exaggerated and believe that pot has opened our eyes to aesthetic.
Isn’t a white round pot in the very front of formative art? - 1963, Kim Whan Ki
It is certain that a Moonjar is not only an archetype of Korean aesthetic appreciation but also an inspiration for many artists for ages. And the work of Choi Young Wook starts from here as well. Choi Young Wook’s Moonjar is a kind of homage to both the Moonjar itself and Korean aesthetic which is inherent in it. As Kim Whan Ki and You Hong June mentioned above, this Korean aesthetic has developed surrounded by harmony, balance, and tension between artificiality and nature.The Moonjar is created by the action of natural power like fire, gravity and etc on a man made artificial item. Due to that, it has, unlike the one of China or Japan which is unnaturally perfect, an asymmetrical look that cannot be crafted by human. Of course the beauty of that rough and uneven look wins over man-created beauty. The physical tension, made when it tries to go over the artificiality, comes from the intimacy between the about to blown up pot and the soil that holds it tight. The color is the same. In conjunction with the shape, diverse white colors give a sense of natuality like eggs from different sorts of birds. This explains its title Moonjar along with an impression that it is not man made but nature created.
Choi Young Wook’s admiration for the Moonjar starts as he reproduces its shape and color on a plane. Semiologically speaking, three dimensional sign is transformed into two dimensional sign with his personal interpretation. That is, in Choi Young Wook’s Moonjar, paint takes a range of roles as base clay, glaze, and kiln making a fire. He approaches very carefully painting on a canvas as if he moves a basket of shallow shell eggs. As a result, the white Moonjar on the white panel appears as the moon. One more feature that makes Choi Young Wook’s work out of the ordinary is his interest in hairline crack in the glaze which looks like an ice crack. It is not made artificially but naturally, and Choi Young Wook traces this hairline crack one by one. Marked out cracks create natural drawing lines together with the shape of a Moonjar.
In other words, the Moonjar in Choi Young Wook’s painting resembles the real one in terms of its look but at the same time, it is alsoan exploration into formal elements like lines or colors. This is the moment that the Moonjar as a traditional artwork converts into the one of Choi Young Wook’s style There is another layer in Choi Young Wook’s work as he says "my painting is of visualized memory." The ‘memory’ that he refers here is not of detailed recollection as to the Moonjar but the overall ambience. These memories are sublimated in company with formative elements of the Moonjar. Choi Young Wook goes further from the lines and cracks in the pot to the extent of abstract or sometimes changes white jar to black. A black jar is in fact a darkness that has lost the Moonjar, resembling the last night of lunar month devoid of the moon. The Moonjar exists in between bright and dark, and the hairline cracks are the evidence or interference of time appeared on the surface of the jar. In his artist’s note Choi Young Wook says "cracks and craze lines in ceramics are like diverse roads in life; divided, connected, similar, different, and joined all together." The line could be a silhouette of a jar or the crazes in the glaze. If you look into the very craze, you will find what Choi Young Wook says; "shackles, joys and sorrows of life, and a spirit that encompasses all of those." Therefore, Moonjar that he paintsis a metaphor or symbol of human beings’ and his life as well.
Every object is inevitably a sign of something. A ‘signified’ that constitutes sign with ‘signifier’ contains sentiment rather than simply indicates meanings. That is the aesthetic sensation in our minds aroused by the Moonjar. It woke Choi Young Wook up to paint images similar to the Moonjar on a canvas ranging from physical reproduction to abstract line drawings. Choi Young Wooktries to go beyond mere imitation of color and shape of the Moonjar and that is why he shows accumulation of abstract line drawings quoting In Hwa Mun and Gue Yal Mun. He paints Moonjar without painting it.
Once Lao-tzu said, ‘what people use is not a body of vessel but the empty space of it.’ It is the same for the Moonjar. What we see and enjoy is the body of the Moonjar but what we makes use of is the inner empty space. The Moonjar that has no practical use is close to historic fine artwork and this is where Choi Young Wook’s language develops. This is a point of departure not arrival that he explores possibilities to formatively modify aesthetic practicality of Moonjar. Therefore, he wants his works to be a way of communication through Moonjar. That passage is an attempt to make a new relational place including past and present, or I and you. No artwork could be an answer to how detailed the effort would be, but definitely the Moonjar points toward that way.
