Attila Richard Lukacs at the Seoul Art Festival 1990/91  Untitled, 19901990 Seoul Art Festival, National Museum of Contemporary Art, Seoul, Korea oil, enamel, gold leaf, on mulberry paper mounted on linen 80.5 x 156 inches The first International Seoul Art Festival was held at the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Seoul, Korea Novenber 20, 1990 to February 20, 1991. Over fifty international artists were been selected to exhibit works created solely for the Festival. The Selection Committee dictated both the medium and theme of the works to be shown. They presented each artist with ten sheets of hanji, traditional Korean mulberry paper. In this day of mechanization, it was especially significant to utilize traditional methods of handmade paper for such a large-scale, international art event. The invitetd artists , who were all "non-oriental", were meant to work on a theme pertaining to Oriental Spirit. Lukacs? works were exhibited alongside such influential artists as Sam Francis, Jules Olitski, Nam-June Paik, Robert Rauschenberg, George Segal, and fellow Canadian Melvin Charney. Attila Richard Lukacs created two special works for this Festival. To evoke a feeling of Oriental Spirit, Lukacs utilized six individual pieces of hanji to make a double-sided screen and a large painting on three pieces of hanji mounted on linen. Both works depict imagery that refers back to the Primate series in a delicate and moving fashion. These pieces are unique in Lukacs? career as they utilize a material that he was not likely to find on his own. Like all of his work, they excel in artistic merit and aesthetical appeal and were widely documented including mantion and images in a feature article of Art in America. |
