I just wanted to say a thank you to Jason Landry at the Panopticon Gallery. I recently sold one of my prints, my very first ever through a gallery, at the recent NHIA Student Exhibition. Jason took care of everything and shipped the archival print (printed at Panopticon Imaging) to its new owner. Thanks for making this such a smooth and memorable experience for me.

"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)
