Artist or Art like Penelope: on Bernard Frize’s recent works
A remarkable work of art attracts a wide range of viewers and simultaneously triggers a profound and sincere rationale and interpretation of the work. In one respect, a painting of a high standard with a wide-ranging visual effect instantly and instinctively draws many viewers, regardless of their aesthetic taste or artistic view. However, on the other hand, those charismatic works provide a private yet open arena that allows viewers to explore intellectually. This is made possible because such works not only possess visual attractiveness but hold the power that invokes self-introspection. And these are also the reasons that we aim for an amalgamation of art and humanities and actively pursue their interaction. . […] Dr. Sumi Kang
