ex animo dicere CII

"Paint the thoughts behind the shape. Go beyond the form and paint the meaning. [...] Imagination must breathe fire into the painting. More important than the strokes is what lies between them. [...] A painting is made of arteries. [...] That black stone. Is it moving or not? A humble stone must be alive in a painter's eyes. If a stone is alive, it's dynamic. If it's dead, it's static. You can't paint a dead stone. [...] If you want to paint, first learn how to drink. [...] How can I paint without an erection? [...] Painters like you want the iron powder to stick, so that the piece will have life. The glazers want their glaze to spread properly. The owner of the kiln hopes for a masterpiece or two. But the decision is not ours. Fire dictates all", tais lições vieram do impulsivo Owon Jang Seung-up e seus convivas enquanto emborcavam as cumbucas e efetuavam pujantes Strokes of Fire.

(Indicação de leitura do painel: a seqüência começa no falcão, ao alto e à direita, então vem até o início da linha, onde desce e faz o caminho de leitura ocidental até chegar ao pintor. Infelizmente, a imagem em movimento - que é mais interessante - não está disponível por aí.)
