Spectacular Double Exposure Oil Paintings
Korean artist Ho Ryon Lee ’s series entitled Overlapping Images incorporates a double exposure technique that is typically used in photography. The remarkable thing about this body of work is that the images are, in fact, oil paintings. The realistic renditions of the multitude of scantily clad women in these works employ a layering method that plays with opacity. There is a simulated sense of motion, as though we’re able to view several moments in time at once.
While the paintings reflect movement, they also exude a slow-motion sensuality. In most of Lee’s work, he represents a headless or faceless female form. It is a primal depiction of the male gaze and perhaps even illustrative daydreams of the adolescent male mind. There’s something about his work that seems voyeuristic while simultaneously celebrating the beauty of the female body.

Portrait Julian
Au niveau le plus simple, si vous pensez qu’avoir des émotions est un obstacle, ou qu’être confus est un échec, alors il n’y a plus de chemin possible. Vous êtes toujours humilié par la vie qui devient un combat permanent. En refusant de laisser la moindre possibilité à nos ombres d’apparaître, nous souffrons bien plus que si nous prenions le risque de les regarder et des les considérer. N’ayons pas peur de notre vulnérabilité.
Pour ma part, si on me demandait ce qui, pour un être humain, fait qu’un chemin authentique s’ouvre à lui, je dirais que c’est d’abord d’avoir le courage d’affronter ses propres ombres, ses propres fantômes, ses propres angoisses. Là est le coeur de la plus haute vérité spirituelle. Il ne s’agit pas de rêver sur la vie après la mort ou sur le mystère de l’énergie cosmique.
Beaucoup de gens passent à côté de leur propre grandeur ou de leur propre chance parce qu’ils ne veulent pas se relier à ce qui est sombre en eux - or, seules nos ombres nous éclairent.
