Description of the work
- Media Charcoal, Pearl, Gofun on Canvas
- Location SIGNIEL BUSAN Lobby
Black lines drawn across a white background or multiple lines are bunched together, making up a side. Whether it's a line or a side, most of them take on the form of a circle. The artist draws lines using raw materials such as charcoal and shell powder, among others. He carefully works with dots and lines in an artistic process of great depth. This restrained yet balanced process gradually comes together into the ultimate completion of repetitive movements. The large canvas reveals lines that were drawn with great effort, and which could have involved the whole body.
The still frame neatly captures the coarse texture of the materials, along with the movements made to draw the lines

About the author
Bahk Chan-Guk's artwork gives the audience a great sense of heaviness.
Where does this presence originate from?
The artist finds the root of the presence in random movements.
He adopts primal methods of creation using raw materials like charcoal, shell powder and marble powder.
According to Bahk, the trajectory of a being is composed not only of the inner core of being, but also of the in-between moments of presences, coincidences, and destinies.
