This Korean Calligraphy Artist Creates Large-Scale Works of Art
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 гру 2019
- Most people sit at a desk when they do calligraphy, using careful and precise brushstrokes. Not Lee Hong-Jae. He takes his art to an epic extreme, writing on a long scroll spread out on the ground with a big brush. The calligrapher and Ta-Muk performance artist from Daegu, South Korea, puts his whole body into moving the writing instrument. He mops and muscles the characters into existence, creating large-scale works of art full of energy.
This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.

His work is actually really good, it's a different form of art, and it's hard to understand it or appreciate it if you aren't into it, but I can assure you that it's something that's harder than it looks, and the more you study it, the more you learn why certain things in the art are appreciated. It's okay to dislike this form, if one doesn't like, it, but just want to inform people that this indeed takes talent.
ds productions hi, do you have more information about his work? I can’t seem to find him when I search for him. Thankyou in advance
Whats great about calligraphy is how much personality and style comes through the artists handwriting, and through performance art you can see them handle the brush masterfully. I love writing caligraphy but its hard to get back into, so its nice this popped on my feed.
*Meanwhile*
I can only draw a Bird with 2 strokes
That folding screen looks amazing
as an artist, that first dip in the ink with a brush that size was oddly satisfying
Need me one
*when you're early and there's no juicy comments*
I hope you get top comment.
Me too😊😊
Ironvc grae and 예진 thank you 😊
I wish there was more translation of what the artist was actually saying with his calligraphy. Thank you for the beautiful video.
It sounds like Chinese, but korean
@@ruiyang1179 hanja?
I went to his studio, and to hear him tell its meaning is beautiful. It’s a whole story in some ways.
@@DocBrandon423 That's exactly what I'm wishing was in the video. A very special moment for You, how wonderful.
@@Iroc2345 he’s awesome! He is very hospitable and loves to show his studio. I met him by mistake while photographing and he seemed genuinely amused that I hadn’t come to meet him, I’d just ended up there.
This is why I love collagraphy. Every Calligrapher has their own way of channeling the words. Weather it's making the letter perfect or making the energy of the letter speak for itself. People spend a lifetime mastering themselves. When we master ourselves, others will come and watch.
Just to let people know, each stroke he does is intentionally placed and each line is given its own trait. Like other forms of art, it's hard to appreciate if you are not really into it, but if you are, and studied it, you can really appreciate the composition and the details.
Art is a universal language.
I never saw this man before today. I don't know what he is writing.
But I look at his performance. I look at his art. Then, I look at his eyes.
And I understand.
I know shodo performances are really popular in Japan. In China, people use water and write on the pavement as a past time. It’s really popular in these two countries. It makes me happy to see it in Korea too!
It‘s called shufa and origin in China，Japan just love to learn from we Chinese tradition and twist a little to became theirs😅
in case you curious, he write 筆歌墨舞.
Wearing all white?
Brave
@SIMP RAT 80 now
Beautiful, such sincerity, in every movement.
Wearing all white while working with black ink. Bravo
The song at the end is breathtaking
It’s a masterpiece!
Best UA-cam channel!
Simply Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GOD BLESS LEE HONG JAE AND HIS FAMILY FOR ALL ETERNITY AND INFINITY FOR HIS EXTREMELY,IMMENSE HARDWORK,PERSEVERANCE AND SACRIFICES.
This is so relaxing
Well this is fascinating and cool
This is so cool
Fascinating
O my gawwd the background music is sooo soothing
Hanja calligraphy is one of my hobbies. I didn't master it yet, but I'm trying to be a good one like him. Many people don't know how to appreciate art. Learning this type of art changes my perspective toward each character of the piece.
Hi where would I be able to find a brush this size ... calligraphy is one of my hobbies but currently practicing with parallel pen... would love a brush this size tho
@@kevingarnet6822 It's hard to find this kind og big brush. I bought mine (which is smaller like ordinary brush) online but it's expensive. I also bought a set of brush from Korea.
@@kevingarnet6822 I would expect that this would be expensive and hard to find if you want to buy this in Korea.
Beautiful
예술가다운 포스가 느껴지시네요
impressive!
*Super nice.*
That music was perfect choice. Can anybody tell what song is used in the outro titles? I assume its 'Remembrance' but there is no way i can find it without knowing the artist, please send help
Hi, I’m music supervisor from this video.
Ending song ’Remembrance’ is original sound track for this video.
So you can’t find the song at other site.
If you find(contact) ‘Korea traditional music’ composer, Send the email(wngus7300@naver.com)
Thank you for love my song. :)
beautiful
Cool!
Why can I imagine kim jongin dancing to this and writing this kind of calligraphy in his hanbok similar to what he wore in the winter olympics?
I am crying I can feel his emotion and the emotion of the letters. Beautiful. You should show the world.
I know of a Buddhist monk who used to do this using a palm frond.
This is cool, I am kind of interested to get into calligraphy, like Japanese/Chinese script and maybe Tibetan too (Uchen script looks fire)
Look for "hero calligraphy scene", you'll like it. It's a masterpiece.
My mind also went to that scene in "Hero". I also thought of the Peter Greenaway's movie "The Pillow Book".
Imagine they use pinky and brain as background song instead this traditional music.
One word

He be wearing a parchment paper costume
Just curious, wouldn't it make more sense for the brush to be dancing, and the ink singing?
.Funny, I was thinking the same thing. LOL
Which episode of Art Attack was this?
My back hurts just watching him
Hi where do I find brush like this
This guy's inspiration is Kim Jong Un- no i mean Chun
It's Barakamon in real life!
What a lad
I've tried searching for the end credit song using the info the credits but no luck. Anyone know how I can buy it?
Hello I am this music composer This music was made for this video.
so you can't find the song at other site.
@@user-pp6gk2rw2f Ah, that's too bad. I really loved it and it suited the video very well. You did a wonderful job.
Any people who reached some point
They are beautiful
Amazing how Chinese characters developed into an art form.
The characters doesn't look like 한글 to me, can someone tell me what characters are those? Thank you!
It's 한자
That's hanja. Refers to the Chinese characters borrowed from Chinese and incorporated into the Korean language with Korean pronunciation. From 4th century.
한글 hangul had been created by Sejong the Great, it did not come into widespread official use until the late 19th and early 20th century.
From wikipedia
he write 筆歌墨舞
He writes Chinese. Not only the character but also grammar and word meaning are all Chinese.
kolozac nah
Dressing in white doesn't seem to me the best choice for the job, but what do I know 🤷♂️
It could become the perfect commercial for a bleaching product :)
He displays the clothing after a performance to show how the ink decorated it.
you know what over 99.9999% of Koreans don't know what did he just write down.
Because it is Chinese Character, "Hanja". Actually about 30% of population knows what he wrote.
I guess he’s writing 筆(pen)歌(to sing; a song)墨(ink) and then the one Chinese character I can’t recognize
舞
A E S T H E T I C
So he is using hanja or hangul?
Dance,music,language are all connected . Our bodies speak through movement . Martial arts isn't much different from drawing or creating new words(philosophy)
Oh cool here early
I wonder what the ink he uses is made of?
100% squid ink
벼루 + 먹
硯 + 墨
The black is from the smoke of the fire. Then combined with glue.
If this doesn't have any music or voice this will be an ASMR video
What song / music you are using at the end?
Hello, I am the composer of this song. That song was composed for this video.
Thank you for your attention
Big Brush Big Letters
So is it like cursive writing in Corean?
BiBi :v nah Korean calligraphy uses Chinese characters but it's a bit different and called hanja
Sorry that this cannot be done with Hangul.
Kim jong chun
*Juicy*
so why some people said there's no money if you earn it from art?
Just ganna say third as there 16 different firsts is I am the first 3rd
Svn noo
True art of Korea. None of that terrible K-pop.
Is just as garbage as any mainstream music, isn't not worse or any better.
Ah well, learn to understand Korean before you speak 쉿
@@seerendipitea So you are saying that a korean who doesn't speak English cant have a opinion on if American pop is good or bad ?
Music is art, whether you dislike it or not will not change that 😊

I used to be able to tell which characters the letters and word is from, Japanese, Chinese or Korean.... now Idk... they all look the same. except for their common ones.
The video principally uses hanja. But the brushwork for traditional Chinese, simplified Chinese, hangeul and kana are very different.
Handa Sensei😐
no
Wow, and I thought Hanja was just garbage in 21st century Korea. Really amazing and beautiful.
No we still need to study it
Its used to clear off misunderstandings in korean homonyms
@@tunami6914 YAY
@@rabanal_josh64 HURRAYA
Korean here. I HATED Hanja but i am glad I learned it. Definitely helped me learn academic level Korean. I still hate it. If you are extremely bored or you got insomnia problems, I suggest learning it
I can already sense the k pop fans
Hahah, as if I saw my 1,5 y.o. daughter when she gets a brush
I think most Koreans nowadays dont even understand his works since its
written in chinese
No, they still do. It’s part of their history, they’ve been teaching the Hanza/Hanja the old Koreans used to the new generation. :)
@@nadonado648 IDK what are you talking about but I am pretty sure most Koreans dont understand Chinese characters at all
Tbh tht looked messed up
筆歌墨舞
dance and sing of Pen and ink
Second
strangely enough, some "tradition" suddenly appear in korea though there had not existed such one so far
Chinese characters have long been part of Korean culture, likewise Chinese calligraphy has always been part of Korean culture as well. However these days it is not commonly used since they stopped using them in the 70's. These days you only see it used on formal documents or artworks like this.
Chinese calligraphy has always been apart of korean history..

Lots to show but not much to see : (
That's Chinese not Korean
01001011 Some use chinese characters but its still Korean :) its hard to explain but its still korean-ish?
@@CrispySuki
Looks all Chinese too me. Very little Korean
Old korea(like before 15c) used Chinese letters
So it is Chinese letters, he is doing
kind of traditional artform by using old letters,
(Actually that letters are old version so it's quite different as todays Chinese letters, some of them are same some of them are different)
@@Spector_Cheese
Multiple Chinese countries still use traditional characters. Taiwan, Hong Kong

Correct, before Korea had it's own writing system. This is Chinese

Korean also uses chinese characters, in Korea it is called Hanja. But of course hanja is not used as commonly in Korea compared to China.

Bigger letters but ugly ones
6:36 What a dirty calligraphy this is! btw...
So just a guy writing his cool looking language messy very big cool I guess...
Wrong
My brush is bigger than yours! 😜
I used to work in a Bar in London. It looked like someone tried recreate this huge calligraphy. Unfortunately he used the toilet wall as his canvas and poop as his brush.
We had to close.
I will never be the same again.
@Sean Wilkinson Callicraphy
FYI he’s writing in Chinese. Calligraphy cannot be expressed without using the beauty and strength of Chinese written characters. Japanese called Chinese characters they use in writing “kanji or 漢字”. Don’t get it twisted. Facts.
That's hanja. Yes It's seems deferent from hangul(todays korean alphabet had been created by Sejong the Great, it did not come into widespread official use until the late 19th and early 20th century). Refers to the Chinese characters borrowed from Chinese and incorporated into the Korean language with Korean pronunciation. In 4th century.
There's Hangul calligraphy, you know. Hanja is Chinese, but a lot of it has disappeared in China because it's incredibly ancient and too complex for modern day use.
ᄌᄉᄋ Don’t steal the Chinese culture and yet talk nonsense about it at the same time. Makes you look terrible!
@@ZKZ123 Yikes, says the person with prejudice practically spilling from their words. I don't have to waste my time speaking with people so narrow-minded and eager to protect their ego, have a nice day!
@@ZKZ123 Modern Chinese use simplified Chinese characters. However, Koreans and Japanese use traditional Chinese characters. The next section would be, why did Koreans and Japanese use Chinese characters?
That's because Chinese said "I am the center of the world and you shall follow me. We're going to set up the system where we SHARE and EXCHANGE our cultures. And we approve all your kings."
If you're going to call that "stealing" then maybe the Boxer Rebellion wasn't a mass genocide and terrible tragedy after all.
BTW, the way Koreans , Chinese and Japanese do calligraphy is different, though most people who don't appreciate calligraphy don't understand what that really means.
The person in the video is a true master.
