Ham Sup was born in 1942 and for
many years worked on canvas in oils and acrylic
medium; early in the 1980s, however, he began to
explore paper art using traditional Korean mulberry
paper his medium, in an attempt to express himself
as an artist without nostalgia for the past, for
what once existed hut is now over and gone, though
still working within the continuum of that culture.
His works may sometimes resemble
oil-paintings in certain respects, but they are
in fact composed using a thick sheet of mulberry
paper made in traditional manner as their basic
support. Colored sheets of paper and old books
are soaked in water, then the fragments are matched
and fixed to this support; while tearing and fixing,
he beats them with a hard brush, creating his
work by concentrating uniquely on the particular
¡®flavor¡¯ of the mulberry paper, the essence of
pattern and color expressed through an initial
destruction. Ham Sup completely transforms the
original appearance and nature of his basic materials;
they are reborn in his work, a process resulting
in a hitherto unseen blending of East and West,
of past and present and yielding works of contemporary
art replete with a traditional Korean flavor.
