추상표현주의를 응용한 네일아트 디자인연구

Abstract

Nail art designs have a tendency of being sensitive to trends, which raises a constant need to develop designs along with trend research by extracting various cultural materials, colors, raw materials, and designs from works by professional nailists rather than design by copying. As nail art materials are already in a saturated state, organic designs have begun to emerge which attempt at fusion by transcending typical frameworks and getting inspiration from atypical designs and natural objects along with abstract and geometric designs whose independence is ambiguous. This study aims to propose the directionality of research on individual and creative nail art designs, demonstrate that nail art was an art under the artistic influence of abstract expressionism, and expand its area by promoting the fusion of the expressive methods of abstract expressionism in contemporary art and those of nail art. The investigator made a total of ten works by employing various techniques of abstract expressionism including dripping, tachisme, color field abstract, calligraphic abstract, and automatism and dividing the types of abstract expressionism in paintings according to the painting techniques of nail art and the types of abstract expressionism in molding according to the objet techniques of nail art. The findings demonstrate that nail art and abstract expressionism belong to the same genre based on the research on expressive techniques artistically connected to nail art and abstract expressionism. The findings of the study will serve as basic data for diverse future studies highlighting the originality and creativity of the nail art field beyond its limitations, the possibilities of nail art establishing itself as an area of art, and the expansion of nail art designs.
