Author: Kim, Chong Hak
Kim Chong Hak is one of the most widely recognised artists in South Korea. Known as the “Painter of Seoraksan,” Kim has a relationship with Mount Seorak that is as essential to the history of Korean contemporary art as Cezanne's depictions of Mont Sainte-Victoire are in Western art history. This title is both the record of a generation’s cultural reclamation and a reflection on the joys, sorrows, pain and fulfilment of coming into one’s own language as an artist.Like many others in the postwar generation, Kim found himself grappling with questions of identity and persistent cultural memories within a deeply embedded colonial consciousness. Rejecting abstraction, he relocated to Gangwon Province, where his views of Seorak in the Taebaek Mountains encouraged the expressive figurative style for which he is known.
