KIM DAEKWAN
KOREA, B.1965
김대관은 독일 할레에서 유학할 때 곧잘 인근에 있는 강을 따라 산책하곤 했다. 그러면서 고향에 대한 그리운 마음을 삭이고 키웠다. 고향에도 강이 흐르고 있었다. 그에게 강은 고향을 그리워하는 마음 곧 향수를 의미했고, 그 시절로 회귀하는 시간을 의미했다. 여기서 작가는 유리회화를 생각해낸다. 물이 그렇듯, 빛을 투과하는, 그래서 투명한 성질을 갖는 유리판 위에 채색이 얹힌다면 마음 속에 흐르는 강물을 표현할 수가 있을 것이다. 물을 투명하게 하는 것도 물의 질료 속으로 투과하게 하는 것도 빛이다. 비록 질료는 다르지만 유리 역시 마찬가지이다. 빛이 매개가 되어져서 물과 유리를 상동하게 한다.
Dae-Kwan Kim believed he could express the river running through his mind if he put some colors on the a pane of transparent glass as water let the light penetrate itself. It is light that makes water look transparent, and that penetrates substances of water. Glass has similar quality to water even though different substances constitute these two things each other. Light works as a medium in making water and glass have a lot in common. The artist aims to awake our senses to perceive water and recognize light at the same time through his glass paintings.
