가스통 바슐라르의 ‘물질적 상상력’ 개념과 입체 조형에서 자연 재료와 표현기법이 갖는 가치에 대한 연구

Abstract

This study researched the interaction between the artist and the material in the creation of three-dimensional art based on Gaston Bachelard's 'material imagination' and the phenomenology of images. The creative act of humans with spirit, body, and soul dealing with natural materials deserves to be called a 'creative struggle'. The material imagination evoked by water, fire, air, and earth can allow artists to encounter archetypal images, and enhance the artist and their artworks. The researcher suggests that a more profound world of art can be unfolded if the artist selects natural materials and utilizes poetic images evoked by the materials' dialectical imagination and alchemical reveries. To present practical case for this, the terracotta technique was analyzed focusing on the fact that alchemical reveries occurs with the participation of all basic materials in its process. And the value of handwork was emphasized, and the four perspectives suggested by Bachelard to contemplate material's values was interpreted, and the three stages of participation were applied to the creative process of art, and Kwon Jin-gyu's terracotta work Hand was evaluated as a case study.
