자오우키(Zao Wou-Ki), 중국, 화가, 1920-2013
중국에서 태어난 화가 '자오우키 趙無極'는, 20대 후반 프랑스에 정착하면서 동서양의 화법이 접목된 추상미술을 시도했습니다. 힘찬 붓질과 강렬한 색채, 물감 흩뿌리기 등으로 표현된 그의 작품에서 인상주의의 화풍이 많이 느껴집니다.
마티스, 피카소, 세잔의 영향을 많이 받았으며, 파울 클레의 영향을 받은 작품은 추상화 스타일입니다. 가끔은 그의 작품을 와인 레이블에서 만날 수도 있습니다.
About Him
Zao Wou-Ki (Chinese/French, 1921–2013), also written Zao Wou Ki, born in Beijing, China, was an internationally-renowned Abstract artist. His role in the Lyrical Abstraction circle of postwar painters in France represented a juncture of Chinese and postwar European and American painting traditions. In 1935, Zao attended the School of Fine Arts in Hangzhou, China, where he learned the techniques of traditional Chinese and Western painting. Nevertheless, he was most heavily influenced by European modernists Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, and Pablo Picasso. He arrived in Paris in April 1948, acquainting himself with European Lyrical Abstraction, a movement of postwar French artists pursuing free-form expression through painting. In 1949, he began making prints, publishing them accompanied by poems from celebrated poet Henri Michaux in 1950. Upon discovering Paul Klee’s paintings in 1951, Zao began to incorporate ideograms into his paintings. Zao still painted figurative elements, however, and used titles for his works referencing actual objects, before definitively choosing an Abstract aesthetic in 1953, inspired by archaic Chinese characters.
In 1957, Zao met New York gallerist Samuel Kootz, who encouraged him to paint large-scale works with looser, more gestural brushstrokes. From the 1960s on, his paintings focused on space and movement, with forms resembling flowing streams or effervescent magmas; in the late 1960s as the illness of his second wife Chan May Kan worsened, the style of Zao’s paintings became more frenzied. Encouraged by Michaux, Zao resumed Chinese ink painting techniques in 1971, which he had given up in 1948 upon arriving in France for fear of being labeled a "Chinese painter." After his wife Chan May Kan’s death in March 1972, Zao visited China for the first time since 1948. Following the visit, he painted in larger formats, including diptychs and triptychs, created in homage to the people who inspired him in his youth. Zao’s work has been celebrated and exhibited around the world, including at the Venice Biennale in 1996.
