Wishing Flowers to Bloom in the Valley

Concept

Korelan began working with collages using printed materials and has since developed his work into paintings that are more free in size and matiere. In recent years, using acrylic paint, sumi ink, and alcohol ink, as well as collage, stencil printing, decalcomania, and digital output, Korelan has been exploring the world as a "temporal phenomenon" that is constantly changing and interacting with other entities, such as natural phenomena and human psychology, by utilizing "chance, combination, and plate expression. Korelan's interest is in concrete, concrete, concrete art. Korelan's interest is not in expressing something concrete, but in being open to meaning, and not in the traditional process of painting, which is a highly integrated process of looking at motifs, colors, and composition as a whole, but in the process of bringing disparate things together to finally create a unified whole. This is simply because that is what reality seems to be about. Whatever one's intentions, one does not know when, where, or by whom one will encounter phenomena, and whether or not they are important to one's life. Much is made up of coincidences, choices, and combinations, and any one event is related to another and is always in flux. Da Vinci wrote in his manuscript, "Everything is interconnected. This may be a Buddhist or Eastern rather than a Christian perception. The complex causal relationships in the world never stop moving, but Korelan attempts to capture the moment in his work.
