Jean-François Réveillard aka JfR (Engelberg, Switzerland) JfR is a Swiss artist born in Paris. He finds his inspiration in the Swiss mountains and during travels around the world. His painting technique is mainly inspired by Heidegger and his famous concept "Being and time" and Japanese Calligraphy as well. Besides painting, the Artist is strongly involved in the digital media, video art, 3d printing and virtual worlds. He likes to define himself as "Cross Media Picture Maker". He applies the contemporary art as a mirror, reflecting and spreading cultural ideas over the huge networks around the world. About "Time and particles", a video art- and 3Dprint-installation by JfR: "The particles, consisting of all materials, are precious stones, jewels, vibratory pigments closely related to time and universe. Highlighted in the Large Hadron Collider, these discoveries turn upside down our vision of the world and our origin, especially the space/time in which we live. These gems of the universe are represented in a cabinet of curiosity, by sculptures realized in a dreamlike poetic manner with three dimensional printings, enhancing their non-persistence and accentuating their mysteries. The current great discoveries in the world of matter carry with them big questions like information disappearing forever into black holes, as Hawking suggests, or more simply about the time consistency itself, which is our own, the one of our life. Nature is the expression of the most visible and observable time, one of the main valuable assets, the one that puts us in the persistence of our lives lost in technological narcosis. We must continually protect this nature, an integral part of our being, the natural time belongs to us, existing in each tiny part of the universe with us, or without us. This timeline is represented through observation and digital scenes sets in videos, some filmed live within nature, where introspection helps to visualize, immersing in a universal breathing stream, blocking and stopping the artificial time of technology. To search the right balance of these constituents: time, nature, and bring the technology to become tool of expression." (Text: JfR)
Minjoo Lee by Samsim Art (Seoul, South Korea) Many prestigious Korean artists belong to Samsim art and have participated in numerous art fairs and invitational exhibitions around the world. The artistic focus consists in modernity acquired through subjective interpretation and the adaptation of Korean aesthetics and eastern Asian philosophy. Minjoo Lee is one of the well-known south Korean artists, she participated in more than 400 group exhibitions around the world. Her work is represented in numerous museums and collections worldwide. Her art is about the division of Korea, issues such as life and death, war and peace. The works of Minjoo Lee are rooted in Korean Tradition with 5000 years of art history. Koreans have been inspired by the nature and traditional East Asian philosophies including Confucian philosophy, Lao philosophy. In the paintings of MinjooLee, you may see Confucianism, shamanism, Buddhism and even Christianity. In fact, various contemporary spirits have bloomed from the same stem. With the painful ‘sense of belongings to the world', Minjoo Lee has kept representing in her painting the agonizing existential situation between the intensive earth and the remote cosmos. For her, the act of painting is an attempt to reach to the promised plenitude. The power that supports the work of Minjoo Lee comes from her ability to introduce the forms in resonance from her ability to give birth to the forms - the lines, colour and the situations in which they position themselves with a complex play of reflection and echo.
