About The Artwork

This image is hand printed with a dojang (Korean stamp) on hanji (Korean paper) using inju (Korean printing ink). It is mounted with white mount board and framed with a simple black wooden frame. Park Ji-Young was the first to be hailed as a hero, as reports of her remaining onboard the ship to help students emerged. After running out of life jackets, she is reported to have given her own to a student, before telling them that she would disembark only when she had ensured the safety of all passengers. Unfortunately she met her demise when she was unable to escape before the water claimed her life. With this piece being the first completed of the series, it has a slightly different feeling from the later ones. The use of only one color means that the image is much flatter and lifeless than the pieces that it precedes. This is also the only piece produced on standard drawing paper, rather than on hanji. The dojang stamps produced after this were inverted, meaning the printed color became the background color and vice-versa. This allowed for more control when building up textures in subsequent images. The Chinese symbol ‘忠’ (충성) corresponds to these acts accordingly, hailing her loyalty and devotion. It is usually only used in recognition of military actions, but I have used this to heighten her status after she gave the country some hope and due to the small glimmer of positivity that stemmed from the actions of those aboard. With this being the only monotone piece in the series, red was chosen due to it most commonly being interpreted as the color of blood. The pupils of the eyes were intentionally enlarged to further illustrate lack of life. 박지영 양은 미디어가 가장 먼저 주목한 영웅이며, 갑판에 남아 끝까지 학생들을 구조했던 것으로 알려졌다. 구명조끼가 동났을 때 자신의 것을 학생에게 양보하며 승객의 안전이 우선이며 자신은 나중이라고 말했던 것으로 알려지고 있다. 안타깝게도 그녀는 탈출할 수 없었고, 결국 물 속에서 자신의 생을 끝마치게 되었다. 이 작품은 가장 처음 완성한 연작이며, 다음의 작품과는 다소 차별적인 정서를 자아낸다. 이 작품에서는 단색을 통해 그녀의 짧은 생을 무덤덤하게 표현하려 했다. 또한 이 작품은 한지가 아닌 일반적인 드로잉 페이퍼에서 진행했던 유일한 작품이다,. 양각으로 이루어진 일반적인 도장과 달리 음각으로 새긴 동장을 사용했으며, 이는 연속된 이미지의 질감을 형성할 때, 작업을 더 용이하게 할 수 있게 한다. ‘忠’(충성 충)은 그녀의 행적이 보여주었던 헌신과 충실함과 조응하는 한자다. ‘충성’이라는 단어는 상호 존중의 의미에서 군의 경례구어로 널리 사용되기도 한다. 나 역시 국가적 절망 가운데 그녀가 행동으로 보여주었던 희망의 빛을 기리고 그녀의 위상을 높이고자 이 단어를 선택했다. 붉은 색은 피를 상징하는 색이다. 그리고 이 색으로 기획물 중 유일한 단색 구성의 작품을 만들었다. 또한 그녀의 동공은 의도적으로 확대되어 그녀의 단명을 표현했다.

Martyn Thompson is an artist and photographer from the U.K. who established himself as an artist in Korea. After graduating from Northampton University, UK in 2007, with a degree in fine art, winning an award for his final show exhibition piece 'Moulding Myself' he moved straight to Korea. Upon graduating, Martyn pursued his personal studies of Korean video artist Baik Nam June. Producing art and finding exhibiting opportunities in a foreign country was difficult, because at the time there was little activity amongst fellow expatriate artists. A lot of perseverance was required, and after partaking in a few group exhibitions with the International Art Community, Martyn held his first white wall solo exhibition in 2011 at Gallery I in Insadong, Seoul. Despite some minor language communication problems, Martyn has continued working with the Gallery I owner, and forged a strong relationship to create more opportunities for foreign artists living in Korea. He is now considered a very reliable asset and communicative body by several galleries and foreign artists living in Korea. Martyn has exhibited extensively across the country since 2009, putting on four solo exhibitions, partaking in around twenty-five group exhibitions, and having just completed his fifth solo exhibition April 2015. In 2012, Martyn curated two exhibitions in Seoul and co-curated a further two in other cities across the peninsula as well as establishing the Professional Artist's Network Korea. PANK has now grown to include over eighty artists from fifteen different countries in just over two years, and is run by Martyn with a team of six dedicated volunteers. Martyn has curated a further seven group exhibitions, and helped a further five artists to hold solo exhibitions while continuously developing the PANK website and providing a vital resource for English speaking artists living in Korea. Martyn moved back to the U.K. in the summer of 2016 with his family and has recently begun working on a new series of images in a new style.
