The way that Suh Kyoung-Ja looks inside her inner world is based upon meditation. <Meditation> series having been produced in recent times make us read such an aspect.

She(서양화가 서경자,SUH KYUNG JA,서경자 작가,여류중견작가 서경자, 서경자 화백,ARTIST SUH KYUNG JA,徐敬子 作家,画家 徐敬子) makes her artworks very quickly.

 

Having been fascinated with Oriental Zen, Peter Voulkos(1924-2002), a modern ceramic artist, once has trained himself and his students persistently to make a vessel within two minutes.

 

It is known that he, through that process, has experienced a world free from all thoughts. He has shaken off the ideas generally cherished by the artists who wish to make which forms or paint which glazes. He only has left his mind and hands in his action of making.

 

The objects in <Meditation> series of this time are widely scattered on the canvas, and the space that forms the upper part occupy is wider than that of the lower part is a kind of inversion like a reverse perspective.
