KO SONG HWA
Ko Song Hwa has lived in France for 36 years. The artistic trait of
Ko Song Hwa is undeniably recognizable by the rigour of the lines that together form waves from the earth and the sky. Her artistic line can be found in the Dansaekhwa movement translated as «one color». Thus, the artist is interested in monochrome and explores in her paintings the vibration of light under a minimalist representation. On a thick layer of paint, the artist meticulously repeats the same scratching gesture in order to make appear a succession of lines forming circles. We can see a discreet metaphor of the circle of life that follows us throughout our existence. These circles have neither beginning nor end and take us with them in an infinite cycle.
