2013년 마지막날.

2013년은 저에게 많은 의미를 준 해입니다. 결혼을 했고, 그림을 알게되었고, 어반스케쳐로 활동도 하고, 좋은 분들을 많이 만나게 된 축복받은 한해였습니다. 새해 복 많이 받으세요.

sledding on frozen pond, Children's Grand Park, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul

pen and watercolor, A 4

Pond inside the park was frozen. Ice rink was open to public for free. Kids and adults were enjoying the sledding under the flags of all nations. It's open from Dec. 24, 2013 to Feb. 2, 2014 as far as the ice keeps frozen. Hope lots of citizens to have fun.

며칠 전 어린이 대공원에 스케치하러 갔다가 길가에 있는 연못자리가 썰매장으로 바뀌어 많은 아이들, 어른들이 썰매를 지치는 것을 보았어요. 동심으로 돌아 가서 어른들도 재미나게 타더군요. 무료라니 많이 이용하면 좋겠어요.

sketches of people at a debate forum(토론회)

A few days ago, Korea Institute of Registered architects(KIRA:대한건축사협회) held a debate forum in Construction Guarantee Building(건설 공제조합 빌딩), located at Nonheyon-dong(논현동),Gangnam-gu(강남구), Seoul. The major focus of debate is "the improvement of the current system in architecture(건축 제도개선)"  which is an our architects' main interest recently. About 2000 architects gathered inside the building despite the cold weather outside. The main auditorium was filled with excitement. I sketched various scenes of people from place to place during the debate.

세미나, 결혼식 또는 강연회 등 옥내 행사 스케치는  길거리나 광장과는 달리 닫힌 공간 속의 긴장감이 또다른 매력을 불러 옵니다. 야외에서 느낄 수 없는 조명의 분위기~~ 빛과 그림자 속에서 사람들의 움직임들이 실내 스케치의 참 맛을 느끼게 하지요.

오늘 서울역 관장에서 철도노조 파업 철회를 요구하는 기독교단체의 시위가 있었어요. 날씨도 찬데 원만한 해결을 바라는 시민들은 발걸음을 멈추고 지켜보았습니다.

YH Lee and I went to Incheon to see the exhibition of Artist Kim Jae Youl, which was held in Korea-China Cultural center, Jung-gu. We met him and enjoyed his great works. Most of them were about the features of Incheon spanning 120 years. Incheon port was opened on 1883 for the first time in Korea. We liked his recent works too. The exhibit will be on from Dec. 18 -  Dec. 31, 2013. Across the building Incheon Art Platform complex was created. Most buildings had been used as office, factory, or else of private companies previously. But they were transformed into good space for exhibition, education, and performance theater. We visited Modern Architecture Museum located nearby. Historical modern buildings were exhibited as miniatures in the museum. Incheon has lots of treasure as a great sketching place for its historical importance as the open port. Hope that Seoul sketchers go there for sketching them. 

오늘 이용환샘과 인천 한중문화관에서 열리는 김재열선생님의 "개항장 인천의 풍광" 전시회를 보고 왔습니다. 120 여년에 걸친 인천 개항 후의 모습을 담은 역작들을 감상하고 선생님도 만나 뵙고 설명도 들을 수 있어서 좋았습니다. 전시 감상후에 가까이에 있는 근대건축박물관도 방문하고 부근을 스케치하였구요. 늘 가던 인천이지만 새로이 변모된 인천 아트 플랫폼이 인상깊었어요. 차후에 서울 스케쳐들과 함께 방문하여 이곳 저곳을 그려봤으면 싶었습니다.

시간되시면 전시회 방문하시면 좋겠습니다.

four sketches on a very cold day

Today I walked from Gwanghwamun to Seoul Station. On the way I sketched one at the church and one more looking up the Namdaemun gate. Due to the low temperature some parts on paper water were frozen. It looked interesting anyway, which could be seen on winter too. Arriving at the station I made two more. Inside the station was always lively with people. Passengers in streets or in station showed interest in sketches encouraging by comments such as "You have a good hobby." or "You look nice!". Walking the streets I could find more spots where I would sketch later on warm days onwards. 

날씨는 매우 추웠지만 광화문을 지나 서울역으로 걸으며 스케치를 했습니다. 걸으면 확실히 많은 것을 찬찬히 볼 수 있었어요. 날 따뜻하면 저걸 그려야지 하면서 미리 찜해놓기도 하고 혼자 즐거워합니다. 성공회에서 더 추웠나 봅니다. 그림 오른쪽 하단에 얼은 흔적이 있는 것을 보면...영하에서 그리는 재미라고 생각됩니다.
