ENJOYMENT WHALE, 2017, PC, iron, urethane painting, 420x730x320cm, Commission for the Sea Art Festival 2017
ENJOYMENT WHALE We may know about the
presence of the whales, but not many people would have witnessed the whales and
know of them thoroughly. As whales are too big to be easily witnessed, many people go on whale-watching trips to see whales.The
'JLK' team from Chungnam National University expressed a rendering of the whale
as most familiarly imagined in the mind. In the title of the work ENJOYMENT WHALE (ÇâÀ¯°í·¡), the word ¡®ÇâÀ¯¡¯ means to indulge and
enjoy. This word signifies the fact that the whale was something that everyone
in the collective wishes to see. This whale was rendered as a result of combining fundamental elements that
compose matters, rather than making a realistic depiction of the whale.
Projecting various portrayals of the whale provides the audience with a play of
imagination and a new aesthetic experience.
