기운생동의 현대적 변용에서 본 선사상

Abstract

Chinese generally thought that artistic spirit derives from human mental value and their Pilseon is synthetically represented through mental thought and daily life. This Chinese fine art shows religious color through chronological transformation process and influence of Seon thought represented in last paintings of Ming. Qing era clearly reveals its image as religious paintings. Spirit of rhythmic vitality means an energy of universe as basics of all the phenomena and it may be mentioned as reason. Spirit is not separated from reason and vice versa. Basically, spirit is an invisible energy in the universe and in Chinese aesthetics, it is considered to compose unique unified method of the universe. Like this, spirit in China became a basic value of art, literature and philosophy as a crystalline defying description. This is materialized as eventual goal of reason and leads to enlightenment. There are numerous studies that viewed rhythmic vitality originated from Sahyeok based on aesthetic perspective but theses viewed based on Seon thought are very few and there was thesis that viewed it as an organic relation with Seon thought but aesthetic element rather than Seon element was represented to be dominant. Therefore, in this study, how Seon thought is expressed in modern paintings will be explored by analyzing rhythmic vitality in a perspective of Seon thought. Through this study, direction of technique-ridden modern art is intended to be presented by analyzing an effect of Seon on modern art. Spirit is a kind of feeling and emotional expression of representing artistic touch. This is revealed through communication with general public by painting works of one's own color. While following existing art form, modern artists occasionally take a critical position by questioning genre or media. By repeating this practice, they used to construct narrative space or express social issue as paintings. In addition, they progress installation work based on infinite imagination or virtual scenario or express their emotion by searching for original movement of the body in order to overcome anxiety of modern times. Like this, modern artists adopt a method of adding infinite imagination to endowed spirit by introducing modern method succeeding old value. Movement in the nature or value of artistic expression through sound are expressed by spiritual energetic movement and up to the modern times along with chronological aesthetic trend, experiencing method of rhythmic vitality differs but its best stage is one eventually. Paintings giving rhythmic vitality make not only painter concerned but also its audience arrive at ideal spiritual stage as all the targets from minute painting part to the overall picture are drawn as if it is alive. Therefore, when spirit of a painter and target essence are united, harmonious painting is completed. As changing movement of brush tip is coincided with mind of the painter, mind of drawing a line and mystery of brush tip could be expressed on the paper only by a person who is well-versed in reason of things. Principle in art is an endless transcendence of a rule through certain things and it is represented as final goal called enlightenment. Therefore, this enlightenment is sublimated and represented as a real art.
