Hyeyoung Maeng
Hyeyoung was born in South Korea, and earned a BFA and an MFA in Art
Education and Korean painting at Kyung Hee University, South Korea. After
10 years working experience as a Korean painting artist, she came to America to
study contemporary art in the MFA program at the San Francisco Art Institute.
Hyeyoung is currently a PhD candidate in Contemporary Art at Lancaster
University.
The video piece Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Spring explores the
boundaries between film and painting, and develops an original approach to
the presentation of process. This video reveals the virtual aspect of actual
painting, which is imperceptible when audiences view only the executed painting.
This video piece is inspired by the Korean film (Ki-duck Kim, 2003) which
has the same title of this video art. This piece was created from the process
of Korean Bunche painting, which uses powder pigments mixed with water
glue on Korean paper in multiple layers. Hyeyoung investigates the potentiality
of the process of Bunche painting as an independent fine art piece, which she
labels “Documentation Art.” The Documentation Art project integrates this
documentation art with Deleuze’s philosophical concepts of the virtual, a pure
being of sensation, and transcendental empiricism.
