Eva’s Complex Mind

Eva Eun-Sil Han favors collage as the ideal medium for exploring her subconscious (and our own, let’s face it).

The collage featured in this post is called Complex Mind.

Much more of her work can be viewed here. Page after page of visually stunning juxtapositions, all handmade.

Her collection truly stands apart, even in our over-saturated, hyper-visual world.

1. The photo collage is a way to travel that must be used with skill and precision if we are to arrive [...] The collage as a flexible hieroglyph language of juxtaposition:  A collage makes a statement. - William S. Burroughs (1962) via Burroughs Photo-Collage Archive
2. Have you ever felt drawn to a particular painting, sculpture, or handmade thing but you weren't quite sure why? It could be that the item was made by an artist who infused his or her chi into the work. The spirit energy per say of the artist; focused emotional energy implanted in the piece while it was being made. The artist puts an impression of his spirit and mental energy into the work. Even with all the best technique in the world, a painting that lacks chi also lacks a certain vitality, that kind of ephemeral underlying energy that draws me to some work. via Modern Art Quotes

3. The Beat Generation t-shirt sale has ended. My apologies, but I promise it will come again.

   Thanks as always for shopping in the real, and for your continued support of Beat Poetics.

   The more exposure to the beats the better off we all will be…

   You can still order a custom Beat lit t-shirt (or other) on the Custom page, or pick one up at Book People at 6th and Lamar in Austin. They’re graciously featuring Beat Generation writers in the store this month to coincide with the On the Road with the Beats exhibit at the University of Texas at Austin / Harry Ransom Center.

   The exhibit explores the lives and works of the artists who made up the “Beat Generation.”

   Featuring more than 250 items drawn from across the Ransom Center’s collections, the exhibition will take visitors on a journey through the cities, landscapes and communities that fostered and shaped the most important works of the Beat Generation, from the early 1940s to the mid-1960s. The exhibition runs from Feb. 5 to Aug. 3 in the Ransom Center Galleries at The University of Texas at Austin.

   Jack Kerouac’s scroll manuscript of On the Road, on loan from the collection of Jim Irsay, will be on display from March 7 through June 1. The first 48 feet of this 120-foot “page” (aka “the roll”) will be visible in the gallery. This visually stunning first draft has no paragraph or chapter breaks, and the characters are referred to by their real names.

   

   
4. Tate Liverpool Albert Dock Liverpool Fourth floor galleries Peter Blake: A Retrospective June 29-September 23, 2008 A highly influential and original artist, Peter Blake is often described as the godfather of British Pop art. The Tate Liverpool exhibition will survey his rich and diverse oeuvre, presenting familiar works alongside other rarely-seen ones. The show will include major iconic works such as On the Balcony (1955-57), Self-Portrait with Badges (1961), The Toy Shop (1962), The Beatles (1963-68) and ‘The Meeting’ or ‘Have a Nice Day, Mr Hockney’ (1981-83). It will conclude with recent works, such as the Marcel Duchamp World Tour, a project which has occupied the artist for the last decade. At the core of Blake’s work has been his fascination with popular culture, including music, film and sports. A prolific artist, he has worked in a variety of media including painting, drawing, printmaking, illustration, collage and sculpture. During the late 1950s and early 1960s Blake became one of the best-known British Pop artists. He defined a specifically British pop aesthetic and, has on several occasions, seamlessly blended his work with popular culture itself, the best known examples being his cover for the Beatles album Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and the recent cover design for Stop the Clocks by Oasis.
