요약정보

Nothing big‚ nothing fancy‚ just ordinary objects‚ tidy lines‚ and delicate tones.
At first glance‚ they appear to be just your every day bottles‚ and more bottles.
These are the subtle works of Italian painter Giorgio Morandi‚ a painter most famous for his still lifes.
From tables cluttered with bottles to a bouquet of dainty flowers‚ Morandi had a distinct style found consistent through his works.
"Morandi was born in Bologna‚ where he lived a very quiet life‚ never getting married or having any children. He worked and lived in the same studio‚ until the end. But this artist actually lived through multiple wars and chaos‚ yet he still held true to himself‚ consistently creating his landscapes and still lifes. Like a chess board‚ he would paint the same frame over and over again‚ moving around objects to find out where each belonged."
Korea and Italy have had ties for 130 years now‚ and the works of one of Italy's most famous contemporary painters can now be found in Seoul.
Most of his works were done on a small scale‚ and often contained the images of ordinary objects found in life.
One of these objects was the everyday simple glass bottle‚ and occasionally it would be the common seashell‚. but sometimes he even ventured to the serene landscape.
And while his still lifes were the most successful of his collection‚ his other works also contained his drastic contrasts of light and geometric shapes that echo the rhythm of his subtle style.
Korean artists from more recent times‚ also demonstrate stylistic traits similar to Morandi‚ implying the timelessness of Morandi's works‚ and how these traits have just as much meaning today as they had when they were first painted.
Some have recreated that familiar silhouette of a bottle or vase‚ while some have taken the vase off the canvas‚ in a unique homage to the painter.
"Morandi was a very quiet artist‚ but his work still had strong energy. I wanted to create a sculpture with similar traits as Morandi. So I too took traditional every day objects and shapes‚ but I used the canvas to actually make the frames‚ and instead of a paintbrush‚ I used a needle to create my work. Individually‚ they are still life objects‚ but displayed together like this‚ it almost looks like a still life painting."
Whether it be hung on today's museum wall‚ or a wall 50 years ago‚ Morandi found a way to create ageless works‚ paintings that take the every day objects of life‚ and immortalize them.
