Its practitioners and shamans depend on spiritual forces to try to overcome and determine current difficulties pertaining to humanity\u2019s fortunes. They also try to attain a state in which they are possessed by a spirit and hope to ward off evil spirits using shamanic instruments and colorful shamanic paintings in combination with animalism.<br><br>\nKorean mid-career ceramic artist Jang Mee Kyung\u2019s works breathe new life into such aspects of Korean culture in an interesting way using a reduced form of art: ceramics with age-old traditions. Inspired by traditional articles such as the stone statues of the 12 zodiac animals on the lunar platform of Geunjeongjeon (a throne hall) in Gyeongbokgung, the main royal palace of the Joseon Dynasty, traditional decorative coloring (dancheong), and wooden figures for funeral biers (kkokdu), Jang\u2019s ceramic figures embedded with heavy, intense primary color sensations seem to bring forth spiritual energy with figures of animals like tigers and chickens. As if we are seeing shamanic paintings by a shaman or folk paintings by unknown ordinary painters for the first time, we immediately become riveted by this mythical world the moment we see her pieces. <br>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><!--txtBox1-->\n\n\n\n<div class=\"slideBox\">\n<div class=\"titBox\">\n<h2>Reference photograph korea<\/h2>\n<\/div><!--titBox-->\n\n<div class=\"swiper mySwiper\">\n<div class=\"swiper-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"swiper-slide slide1\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/critical1.png\">\n<\/div><!--slide1-->\n\n<div class=\"swiper-slide slide2\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/critical2.png\">\n<\/div><!--slide2-->\n\n<div class=\"swiper-slide slide3\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/critical3.png\">\n<\/div><!--slide3-->\n\n<div class=\"swiper-slide slide4\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/critical4.png\">\n<\/div><!--slide4-->\n<\/div>\n<!--<div class=\"swiper-button-next\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"swiper-button-prev\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"swiper-pagination\"><\/div>-->\n<\/div>\n<\/div><!--slideBox-->\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"txtBox2\">\nThis can be referred to as a fairytale world or an allegorical world laden with symbolism. Discovered in this world is a Siberian tiger which is known for its fierce look. It appears to have been shrunk to the size of a dog with a comic appearance and looks as black as a seal. Perched on the tiger\u2019s back is a cock with colorful feathers and a young boy with a cheerful appearance is seen together with it. In her works, the cock communicates with Heaven, the tiger wards off evil spirits, and the young boy seems to lead us to some beautiful world. As a result, her ceramics arouse the beauty of humanistic familiarity as a sort of sculptural piece.<br><br>\nThis \u201chumanistic familiarity\u201d derives from the spread of bright energy alongside the beauty of her ceramics\u2019 humorous forms. A sunny place laden with vitality seems to suit her ceramics more than a dark, damp basement even though they are symbolic objects with the significance of warding off evil spirits. Often going by the title Auspicious Form, her ceramic exhibitions have featured her ceramics imbued with spirituality and warding off darkness and death. In particular, her ceramic world features personified spiritual creatures laden with bright images of life. \n<\/div><!--txtBox2-->\n<\/div><!--critical-->\n\n\n\n<!-- Swiper JS -->\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.jsdelivr.net\/npm\/swiper@9\/swiper-bundle.min.js\"><\/script>\n\n<!-- Initialize Swiper -->\n<script>\nvar swiper = new Swiper(\".mySwiper\", {\nspaceBetween: 30,\ncenteredSlides: true,\nautoplay: {\ndelay: 4000,\ndisableOnInteraction: false,\n},\npagination: {\nel: \".swiper-pagination\",\nclickable: true,\n},\nnavigation: {\nnextEl: \".swiper-button-next\",\nprevEl: \".swiper-button-prev\",\n},\n});\n<\/script>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"mb-2\">Humorous Spirituality By Kim Tae-won, Culture Critics ENG KOR The historical origin of shamanism, a spiritual tendency by which the formation of Korean culture has been profoundly influenced, is murky.
