It Happens On the Canvas | Artist Jongsuk Yoon | Louisiana Channel
“Without risk, you cannot be creative.” Jongsuk Yoon is presently one of the most inspiring artists on the international art scene, uniting the Western painting tradition with the East Asian.
“This intense experience with nature made me paint landscapes.”At first glance, Jongsuk Yoon's paintings seem to belong to the abstract expressionist tradition. She is well acquainted with European and American modernism after long art studies in Europe. However, the art
traditions of her home country, South Korea, are a strong influence. The paintings are developed during meditation and deep concentration. Her muted colours and frequent changes in perspective, landscape elements and gestures are reminiscent of Asian calligraphy. But beneath the expressive surface, tranquillity and silence are hidden.
Jongsuk Yoon describes her creative process as a communication with the painting. “My ideas take shape on the canvas as I paint. The finished image is not in my head. It is the painting itself that tells me what to do."
Jongsuk Yoon (b 1965), in Onyang, South Korea, moved to Europe in 1995. She lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany. Jongsuk Yoon studied at the Art Academy in Münster in 1996, the Art Academy in Düsseldorf from 1997-2001 and the Chelsea College of Art in London from 2004-2005.
Jongsuk Yoon was interviewed by Marie Estrup at Galleri Specta in Copenhagen, Denmark, in March 2022.

Amazing works 🔥
Brilliant piece of art
I understand the Spontaneous,I also understand being in the painting and not outside the painting
What I am trying to do as an artist, true creating doing what I feel, is spontaneous.
@1:34 The painter being "outside" or "inside the canvas" can be compared to the video you posted of Friedrich Kunath, who around 3.10 said "The best thing is to be almost next to my work, not in my work, where I feel like i'm guiding it…"
is there a buyer??
I LOVE this channel. Yet, with this video I can hear most viewers and even myself thinking that classic cliché response "My child could paint that"... 😏

Which isn't a bad thing (even though I doubt it in this case, and many others). It seems like that response is trying to be some sort of "gotcha", when in reality there are tons of modern artist that have spoken highly of the child, and would likely take it as a compliment. A simliar cliché quote in this would be one of Picasso's: “It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.”

I would suggest that anyone who thinks this should pick up a paint brush and try it! It's not easy to create art which emanates such lightness, clarity, hope, innocence...
I love abstract art. Absolutely love it. But this stuff, not at all.
…….
love the colors palette and intuitive forms but the cat...is a no ! Too infantile and just breaks down all the rest 😶😑
Most of the paintings in this video are actually ugly and fraudulent to be called "art".

Keep looking in the mirror sister
Don't get me wrong. I respect this artist. As a matter of fact i envy her painting skills. But, i couldnt help but think she sounds exactly like that mad tv woman who did the character, "he looka like a man you know." I always thought that depiction of an old ambiguously asian person was a little racist, but still funny. But i mean maybe she really did just copy some korean woman's voice, because it sounds dead on accurate to this.

A year old baby can do better, an insult to art
