The paintings of Jungran Noh use the unique theme
of "Golden Section" and
"Colors Play".
"Golden Section" is not quite an actual theme,
but rather a tool for the order of composition and geometric construction that
reveals the individual painting surface of "Colors Play".
Within the molds of these compositions, Noh
plays with the colors in a unique sense. The passionate and strong hues of
the surface build up with many layers of mainly primary colors flowing into one
direction and mingling with other colors. They soak into neighboring
colors while remaining as various textures and expressive surfaces.
Although her newer works display the splendid, yet often intuitive and
meditative hues, these paintings also reveal a more cheerful and objective
sentiment.
"I try to contemplate the whole creation, focusing my
eyes towards a far distance in search of a spiritual space where I can breathe
fresh air and purify my mind away from a chaotic state."
As Noh wrote, she empties herself and sets
herself free from any restraints. Through this, she tries to reach for the truth
of beauty for which she has been constantly longing. For her, the colors
are the reality of liberated desires like food and sexual desire, so to speak.
