12월의 메세나폴리스

항상 궁금해했었지만, 이제서야 서울어반스케쳐스 모임에 처음 참석하게 되었네요. 주말에 바쁜 프리랜서인 관계로 월요일에 하는 행사가 이렇게 반가울 수가 없었습니다.

자주 지나가는 합정역임에도 그림으로 기록하는 메세나폴리스의 풍경은 또 색다른 느낌으로 다가오더군요. 새로운 분들과 반가운 만남을 해서 더욱 좋았습니다. 비록 날씨는 조금 쌀쌀했어도 그림에 대한 뜨거운 열정을 배워가는 하루였습니다.

앞으로도 자주 찾아 뵙도록 할게요*
다가오는 연말연시도 행복하고 따뜻하게 보내세요 :-D

On Monday of this week, despite the cold weather, usk Seoul members met at Mecenatpolis Mall nearby Hapjeong Subway Station. Mecenatpolis is one of the most famous landmark complex buildings within sight of the Han River. I have visited this attractive location several times to sketch various drawings. I enjoyed and sketched the interesting spaces among buildings, soft curves of the colorful walls and decorations embroidered on the shopping mall. Although it was very windy and cold outdoors, various sketching materials made me forget about the cold. Thank you for all the participants including new comers!

직선과 곡선의 하모니, 사람과 도시의 스케일과 대비감,
닫힘에서 열림으로 이어지는 자유로운 공간의 흐름~~
차거운 유리빌딩 속에서도 인간적 풍요로움이 배어있는,
번잡한 도시속에 스케치를 위한 열린 콘서트 무대 같습니다.

Last Saturday, in celebration of the 51st World Wide SketchCrawl, we Seoul urban sketchers met at Mecenatpolis Mall near Hapjeong Subway Station(합정역). Mecenatpolis (메세나폴리스) is one of the well-known landmarks of Seoul's Mixed-Use residential building. Mecenatpolis Mall on the lower level of the building embraces popular fashion brands, beauty shops, and a large grocery store, as well as various restaurants and coffee shops. There are also often performances held at Mecen Garden and the central square. 

The weather was not fine by yellow dust for sketching outdoors, so I couldn't help drawing under the lee of the building and the surroundings. But it was useful experience under unfavorable conditions.

어반스케치 장소로 두번째 방문한 메세나폴리스는 역시 매력있는 곳입니다.

다양한 외관과 쇼핑 몰 분위기, 각종 이벤트 행사와 끊이지 않는 인파들~~

안과 밖, 위 아래를 넘나들며 스치는 장면들은 모두 스케치 소재들입니다.

Last Saturday, I visited Mecenatpolis Mall with Seoul usk members. Mecenatpolis is located close to Hapjeong Subway Station in downtown Seoul, and is  one of the latest landmarks of Seoul's mixed-use complex that embraces shopping, entertainment, and residential compounds. On entering the gigantic building, I drew some pieces around main central plaza which opened to the sky with lots of colorful umbrellas suspended above the crowded mall.

 After lunch, I sketched in and out the high-rise building complex as seen through my eyes. There were so many subjects I like that I couldn't them all as I wished. I had a very exciting sketch time.

메세나폴리스 같이 도시중심 개방형 고급 주상복합건물은 어반 스케쳐에게 훌륭한 작업 스튜디오 같은 곳이라 하겠습니다. 영등포 타임스퀘어, 가산 아울렛 단지와는 또다른 공간 분위기와 스케일이 흥미를 유발합니다. 특히 주변 상업시설, 주택가와 한강변의 경관이 조화롭게 어우러지는 환경이므로 스케치의 무궁무진한 요소를 지니고 있는 장소입니다.

스케치 분위기를 고무시켜 주신 나윤호 팀장님과 외국에서 오신 세 분 스케쳐님들을 진심으로 환영합니다!
