The artist Kim Jipyeong has talked about the modern worldview through the techniques and styles of oriental Korean painting. She doubts “the old inertia of contemporary art to translate oriental painting into ‘modernization of tradition’ and excessive emphasis on the concept of ‘contemporaneous’ era.” She instead carries out an ‘intentional anachronism’ that reverts to the past.
The artist borrowed features and materials from traditional art but also renewed the meaning latent in traditions in her own differentiated way. Also, new meanings are created by combining things that have been excluded from the historical and social history of art.
