ARTIST INFORMATION
張多然は1983年韓国に生まれ、韓国と日本の九谷など複数の地で絵画と陶芸を学びました。韓国の伝統を想起させる白く清潔な透明感のある素地に筆で細密に上絵付けを施しますが、下絵との併用によって絵付けに奥行きが生まれ、小さな器形の中に、単なる模様や装飾を越えた、作家の幼少の記憶や深い心の世界までもを絵画的に表現しています。
Born in Seoul, South Korea in 1983, Jang Dayeon learnt painting and ceramics in multiple places in Korea and Japan including studying on Kutani ware. Intricate overglaze drawings are applied with brush onto a clean and transparent white clay texture suggestive of a native Korean legacy. These, combined with underglaze painting, create a unique pictorial depth. Within the small vessel form, the artist’s childhood memories and inner psyche are represented in a painterly manner, which would go beyond the realm of mere pattern and decoration.
