작업실이라는 공간과 창을 통해 들어온 빛이 사물에 맺혀 만들어 내는 분위기와 색을 캔버스에 형상화한 그의 작업은 유화, 수채, 연필, 목탄 등을 재료로 섬세한 드로잉과 색을 입히고 덧그리는 페인팅 작업을 통해 대상의 미세한 시간의 변화와 흔적을 기록한다.
색을 쌓아 올려 형태를 강화하면서도 창을 통해 들어오는 빛과 대기의 투명도를 통해 계절과 일기의 변화가 사물에 맺혀 만들어 내는 다양한 색 변화를 그만의 본능적인 시각적 직관을 통해 캔버스에 담아낸다.
그의 작품 속 등장하는 다양한 대상 중 꽃과 과일은 본래 스스로 모습을 유지하는 생명력을 가진 생물로 오랜 시간 관찰을 통해 변화의 흔적을 기록하는 특유의 작업 스타일이 잘 드러나는 대상이다.
이창남은 작업실이라는 자신의 소우주 속 일상의 소재가 품고 있는 수많은 순간을 캔버스에 축적하여 대상의 본질적 아름다움을 담는 작업을 통해 그만의 예술세계를 펼치고 있다.
Lee Chang-nam captures beauty by observing everyday materials.
His works that embody the atmosphere and colors created by the space of his studio and the light coming through the window forming on objects, record minute changes in time and traces of the subject through detailed drawing, coloring, and painting using oil painting, watercolor, pencil, and charcoal.
While strengthening the form by piling up the colors, he captures the various color alteration that the changes in seasons and weather create on objects with his instinctive visual intuition with the light from the window and the transparency of the atmosphere.
Among the various objects featured in his works, flowers and fruits, naturally living creatures with their distinct forms, clearly show the unique style of recording traces of change through observation over a long period of time.
Lee unfolds his own world of art through pieces that portray the essential beauty of objects by accumulating countless moments contained in everyday materials on canvas in the microcosm of his studio.
