Hyeon-Uk Cha

  • Hyeon-Uk Cha’s paintings evoke a sense of origins, of the primal. He explores the most fundamental questions of humanity: Where do we come from? How did the world come into being? While these questions have been rigorously studied and substantiated by the sciences, Cha approaches them within a philosophical framework, seeking answers through a profound artistic engagement with nature. A particularly primal form of nature is embodied in mountains, a motif that has become central to Cha's work. Mountains function as repositories of Earth's history, their massiveness conveying an understanding of the seemingly eternal nature of our planet. Their vastness in both height and breadth speaks to the magnitude of the Earth itself. Their interiors remain largely unknown, holding evidence of nature’s events, now solidified in stone. Their rugged, multifaceted surfaces reveal the continuous transformation of the world since its inception. This textured surface serves as the foundation for the expansive composition of Cha’s paintings, which, upon closer inspection, deepen in a relief-like manner, drawing the viewer's gaze inward and unfolding the infinite diversity of nature before them.
