"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 "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)

Ever since I was a lil dude Ive loved this place. It is THE staple of Harlem, the home of African-American creative visual culture. Sure, art galleries are popping up left and right in Harlem now, but The Studio Museum was here first and itll be here when these johnny-come-lately places all start to die off. Far from pretentious, its a place where the history of Harlem hangs out, from Romare Bearden to the artist that you dont even know about who is changing perceptions with their creative strokes, this is THE place. Just like ya boy Pumkin Escobar, its in Harlem. Come here, getchu some culture. Youll be glad you did.

I attended a fashion and visual performance here for Harlem Fashion Week and what a superb show, but I didnt expect anything less. A close friend of mine was one of the models so I was lucky enough to be on the guest list, which was the only way to enter this night. The event was extremely well curated with compelling visual imagery throughout all rooms. The models stood in other rooms and painfully posed steady for hours. It was amazing. I hope to attend a show there again soon.

Museo muy interesante, imperdible si quieres conocer mejor el barrio de Harlem. Es bastante pequeño, así que puedes dedicarle una hora o 1.30h. Muy cerca del teatro Apolo y otros lugares emblemáticos del barrio.

Thoroughly enjoyed the place. The art was great and very much so appreciated. The gift shop was nice gifts - got a shirt and bracelet as a gift. The employees werent as friendly as I would have preferred - a bit unnecessarily snappy but nothing too crazy. Overall I enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it.

I was born in Harlem should I used to lay down on the ground and pick dimes and pennies and quarters out of the railroad grades. Me me and my brother used to shine shoes in front of the Apollo and the Coco cabana on 125th street back in the day back in the late fifties and sixties and still love my home

The Studio Museum is a beautiful and contemporary collection of black art and pictures. Filled with works dedicated to current events: Charleston Shooting, Black Lives Matter and Baltimore Riots. The intimate venue is perfect for a Saturday afternoon date or Sunday stroll with friends.

Cheap and an amazing gift shop! Cool outdoor seating area. Located in the heart of Harlem, steps away from the Apollo Theater. Love the fact that the exhibits change so frequently. Will revisit.

I pretty much loved all the NY museums except this one. The art didnt appeal to me. If you want to give it a try pay $1 instead of the suggested $7.

Part of the museum was closed. The staff member followed me around as if I was going to steal something which made me a little uncomfortable.
