"Lee Young Jun PEN ART" Pen Art(General Remarks) Infinity of lines and dots have symbolism. Such symbolism is ever changing according to the spirit’s depth. All works are kaleidoscopic; they are usually composed of indescribable expressions. Therefore, art’s depth also can be said to be unlimited. Is pen art’s depth also infinite? In other words, do the lines and dots flowing from the nib of a pen have an artistic qualification? In this respect, it is worth thinking deeply. Pen art begins from an essence of nature’s fundamental values. From the standpoint of value, or color, a harmony of black and white is essential in nature. As it is impossible to see any color in darkness, distinguishing color is an essential role of light. That is why the soul is drawn to light. Whiteness, or light is a spiritual reflection of the soul while blackness, or darkness is a reality of life on earth. As the color green is an essential color of vegetation, burnt charcoal is an earthy color that will stay near black. Blackness is heterogeneous and may be hostile to life. If blackness belongs to the essence of nature, it also may be said to represent the image of death. A combination of black and white constitutes degrees of lightness and darkness. When painting black on a white background, the soul is transported to the white background. Whiteness comes to life when contrasted with black line and black space. In this case, soul also may be expressed through the blackness. Soul may be transported to the black or a combination of white and black, which shed a mysterious merit to the soul or spirit. Pen arts starts and ends from an essence of nature’s fundamental contrasts. The primary essence is infinite and eternal while the artistic harmony of black and white can take one’s breath away. But, this is not possible until a metamorphosis has been realized over many years and spiritual transcendence has occurred. The transfer of spirit occurs when one’s life experiences are projected onto the white canvas in harmony with blackness. That is the true ‘pen art.’ Artist Lee Young Jun I am a Korean. I pioneered the " Lee Young Jun Pen Art " and Perfected the genre. I am Artist Lee Young Jun. Pen Art is the only genre is an important work In the world. The works are extremely valuable. And no one is able to work not dare to imitate. The hope my work can be sympathy to many people. Thank you. "Lee young jun PEN ART 총론" (총론 :總論)PEN ART(Korea) ------------------------------------------- 선과 점의 무한함은 상징성이 있다. 그 상징성은 정신의 깊이에 따라 변화무쌍(變化無雙)하다. 모든 작품이 그러하다. 변화무쌍하기 때문에 형언할 수 없는 표현으로 이어진다. 그리하여 예술의 깊이는 무한한 것이다. 펜의 예술이라고 하면 깊이가 무한함이 있을까? 일반적으로 펜의 끝에서 흘러나오는 선과 점이 과연, 예술성을 갖출 수 있겠는가 라는 점이다. 이점에 대하여 깊이 생각할 필요가 있다. 펜의 예술은 자연의 근본적인 색채의 본질에서부터 시작한다. 색채의 본질에서 보면 흑(黑), 백(白)의 조화는 자연의 근본적(根本的)이다. 조명이 없는 어두운 곳에서는 색을 볼 수 없듯이 색을 구분할 수 있게 해주는 것이 빛의 본질적인 작용이다. 때문에 흰색으로 나타나는 빛 속에서 영(靈)을 이끌어 들인다. 흰색 또는 빛은 영(靈)의 혼적(魂的)인 영상이다. 자연색은 검은 색이다. 녹색이 식물의 본질적인 색채인 것처럼 타버린 숯은 검은색으로 남는 본질적인 색상이다. 절대적인 어둠 속에서 어떤 생명의 운동도 있을 수 없다. 검은색은 생명에 대한 이질적(異質的)이고 적대성 (敵對性)이 있다. 검은색이 자연의 본질(本質)이라면, 검은색은 죽음의 영적(靈的)인 영상이다. 흰색이 검은색과 결합(結合)할 때 명암(明暗)이 이뤄진다. 흰 화면에 검은색을 칠하면 靈이 흰 화면에 이입(移入)된다. 검은 선(線), 검은 면(面)과 만날 때, 흰색은 부활(復活)한다. 검은 색을 통하여 영을 표현할 수 있다. 영(靈)이란 검은색 속에 이입될 수 있는 유일한 것이며, 영과 혼의 색채 흑(黑), 백(白)을 결합(結合)하면 신비함을 갖는다. 그리고 펜의 예술은 자연의 근본적인 색채의 본질 에서부터 시작하여 근본적인 색채의 본질에서 끝을 맺는다. 근본적인 본질은 무한(無限)하고 영원함이 있으며, 흑, 백의 조화는 예술적(藝術的)으로 충분히 살아 숨쉴 수 있다. 그것은 오랜 시간을 통하여 다듬고 완성된 경지를 이룬 뒤에야 가능하고, 혼(魂)을 담는 완벽한 선율이 전제 되어야 한다. 흑, 백의 조화 속에 고고(孤高)하고 생생한 선율이 흰 화면에 영이 이입될 때 비로소 영의 세계는 창조(創造)된다. 그것이 진정한 펜의 예술이다. 이영준( 李永俊)

I love art. I really do. But Im unable to walk through a museum without getting surrounded by artistic pornography. Thanks modern art. Took the kids to MIA for Rembrandt and kept getting stuck in corridors with no way out because naked women in provocative poses were sculpted, painted and sewn on 4 out of 5 walls. I HAVE CHILDREN HERE! they have tickets which means they were welcomed, which makes me assume they can walk the halls. One picture started off as Snow White and as you walk farther away its a nude woman bending over in a very detailed way if you know what Im saying. SERIOUSLY! I DONT EVEN WANT TO SEE THAT. who had to figure it out? my husband. what a great moment while Im on a date. Thanks for the porn MIA. I really enjoyed covering my kids eyes and peeking around corners for an hour. at least Do like the video stores do and put it in a room at the back for decency sake. Once we escaped the modern art the rest was great. Id recommend going but strongly caution against getting lost. What is so twisted about artists today? Are you so proud to be a pervert? And where is the accountability from the galleries? Even bars tell me kids shouldnt be there. You had me buy tickets to a brothel and set up a kids play center for when they get tired playing peek who with nudes. My only comfort was that its better than the Walker. I gave it 3 hesitant stars because everything but the modern was amazing. And the modern art that wasnt naked women was fun to see. Too bad I couldnt have enjoyed it more.

The Martin Luther and the Reformation exhibition was an awesome experience. Worth the time and money to see this well presented. One negative note, I visited the Agra Culture eatery and got the Curry Butternut Squash Soup. When I asked what was in the curry (needing to know because I am highly allergic to cinnamon), I was told there was no cinnamon used. As I sat down and brought it to my mouth, I indeed smelled cinnamon. I took it back to the server that presented it to me and asked again about cinnamon being used. He said there was no cinnamon in the soup. Then he stated flippantly that they used curry powder in the soup. Then he informed me that he really did not know what was in the soup. I then informed him that curry (most Indian curry) does indeed have cinnamon in it. He did not seem concerned about it at all. I would highly suggest that those serving the food, know what is and is not in the food. If so much effort is expended to make sure that no GMOs are present and organic food is used, then perhaps those that serve need to know what is in the food being served. I could have had an allergic reaction had I eaten the soup.

Free Art Museum= Great outing when there is nothing to do! That being said the special exhibits do cost money. You can easily fill your day (2-4 hrs) just looking at all the free exhibits. I couldnt believe how big it was for a free museum too. It is wonderful! Parking: I used free street parking right across the street. The streets surrounding the park should be unlimited time parking if you find a spot. The streets surrounding the building are 2 hr parking between a certain time frame. If you go down a couple blocks in any direction you should be able to find something. Bring a snack! There are places to eat. There is an outdoor area that is perfect for a picnic if you want to go that route. Im not sure if they allow the food to be carried inside or not. Otherwise leave for a bit and go to Nicollet to eat or get coffee (Spyhouse!) and then come back since it is free. All in all there were some famous pieces for sure there worth seeing. Im not too into art but it kept my attention for a good couple of hours until I was starving. Hope you have fun! And if you dont, well, it didnt cost you anything so dont complain.
