He also employs projected lite inward his fine art installations, as well as uses dissimilar materials to choreograph patterns of reflected light.”
Han Ho has been called the successor to the "father of contemporary video art," media-based creative soul Nam June Paik.
H5N1 fine fine art graduate from Paris 8 Vincennes University, Han Ho has held exhibitions all over the globe, from Seoul as well as French Republic to New York, Brazil, FRG as well as Japan. He has sure made his mark. Of course, I couldn’t immature lady the gamble to encounter Han Ho as well as to listen his idea procedure that brought his creations alive. I was really interested inward assist the opening ceremony, every bit I was intrigued past times his works, which combine fine art as well as technology.
The result started amongst the artist’s lecture. Videos from Han Ho’s previous exhibits as well as industrial plant were played first, for us to larn to know him as well as his creations.
Listening to the inspirations behind his artworks was fascinating. H5N1 lot of his fine art is inspired past times his childhood memories, the Bible, history, landscape as well as humanity, amid other things. Introspection plays a big role inward his industrial plant of art, every bit he aims for his audience to endure able to reflect.
I was peculiarly moved when he shared the even of an artwork installation that was a commemoration to the victims who died during the sinking of the Sewol ferry. He visited the schoolhouse involved, inward Ansan, from which nearly of victims came, as well as talked to the families as well as shared their grief.

The translator farther explained that Han Ho wanted to commemorate the unrealized dreams of the students. “He wanted to bring their deep sadness past times showing artwork that is reflected from aluminum mirrors as well as water, which showed the gentle waves of the sea."
The primary components of Han Ho’s fine art industrial plant are made of traditional hand-made mulberry Hanji newspaper as well as LED lights. He therefore explained how he creates his paintings, which I detect real meticulous. He said that he has to manually punch holes inward the canvasses, 1 past times one. He therefore mounts the LED lights behind the canvass therefore the lite tin limited his painting.
As he mentioned, the LED lighting really looks similar diamonds inward his paintings. LED lights are cheap, they end a long fourth dimension as well as pick out depression ability consumption. The agency the coloring changes is also vital for his work.
Using the same technique, Han Ho has transitioned from 2-D paintings to 3-D, giving you lot to a greater extent than illusions.
When asked what he would suggest aspiring artists, Han Ho stated that 1 should detect their identity. “What makes you lot unique? I desire to detect my style. Where is my style? What is your originality? Your ain material." As for Han Ho, he emphasized that he was proud to utilisation traditional mulberry paper. So the mixture of Hanji as well as LED lights is 1 of his unique traits that makes his artwork distinctly his.
The instant one-half of the result was the official opening of the exhibition. Artist Han Ho gave the audience a process every bit he conducted a endure functioning of his art.

"I'm real excited to innovate this novel as well as interesting medium to the Philippine people. Using traditional mulberry paper, Han Ho combines touches as well as lite inward his paintings. He also enjoys projecting lite every bit role of his art. I promise that through this exhibit of media as well as visual art, at that topographic point volition endure a lot of involvement inward the Philippines.”
Thirteen paintings as well as media artworks, as well as 2 installation works, were on display. In a brightly lit room, visitors could consider the beauty of his paintings at kickoff glance. However, in 1 trial the lights inward the room are dimmed as well as the diverse LED lights come upwardly out from his artworks, therefore 1 feels nearly at awe. I sure felt mesmerized, every bit if I was transported to a dissimilar world. The agency Han Ho integrated lite inward his artworks was genuinely captivating. I’d similar to depict it every bit "the beauty of lite inward the darkness." It was the kickoff fourth dimension that I’ve personally seen an creative soul exercise novel media fine art as well as it was a swell as well as inspiring experience.
Han Ho reinterpreted the famous "The Last Supper" past times Leonardo Da Vinci, recreating every bit "The 21st Century Last Supper," which was showcased at the DaVinci Codex inward Korea. It’s 1 of his industrial plant of fine art that I would dear to consider every bit well.
"I promise people tin experience the impression of my works. Given past times the alter of light, this is non a one-time experience. It's a continuously changing emotion. You tin experience discomfort, fearfulness as well as chaos that many people experience spell facing many problems inward contemporary society. At the same time, you lot tin also dream, promise as well as experience healing from these works. I would similar to bring them to the audience sequentially, through light.”
I also noticed that to a greater extent than or less other recurring subject inward his artwork involved paradise. For his run entitled "Paradise," he explained that it came from the notion that humans ever dream of their ain paradise.
