Year 2022, Volume: 12 Issue: 3, 795 - 808, 01.07.2022

Abstract

Paper cutting is a traditional art form of China, the history of which goes back many centuries. This art form has been shaped by being influenced by the social, cultural and economic structure of the people. While different techniques have been used in the past, new methods and techniques are also being used in parallel with the development of technology today. To be synthesized of traditional techniques with current art practices has become a very popular approach. Toronto-based artist Christine Kim interpret her discourses in the context of contemporary art while preserving tradition by uses this technique. In particular, the artist, who is seeking to establish abstract and concrete connections between portrait art and traditional paper-cutting, shows that he also has an original attitude with his compositional fictions. In this research, which uses the document analysis and artwork analysis method, the paper cutting technique will be expressed in the context of the concept and working style, and the works of Christine Kim, who has produced important works in this field, will be evaluated with examples. Starting with a brief overview of the Chinese tradition of paper cutting, the article will move along an axis where Kim's work is analyzed and evaluated and how this original art practice has gone from randomness to stabilization. It is considered that the study will be useful to those who aim to produce works in this field and to educators who are looking for new techniques and methods in art education. For this reason, it is considered that there is not a lot of resources in the field of paper cutting art in the Turkish literature make our work important.

GELENEKSEL KÂĞIT KESME SANATI VE GÜNCEL SANATA YANSIMALARI: CHRISTINE KIM ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Kâğıt kesme, Çin’in, geçmişi yüzyıllar öncesine dayanan, geleneksel bir sanat formudur. Bu sanat formu halkın sosyal, kültürel ve ekonomik yapısından etkilenerek şekillenmiştir. Geçmişte farklı tekniklerle çalışılırken, günümüzde teknolojinin gelişmesine paralel olarak yeni yöntem ve teknikler de kullanılmaktadır. Geleneksel tekniklerin, güncel sanat pratikleri ile sentezlenmesi oldukça rağbet gören bir yaklaşım haline gelmiştir. Torornto’lu sanatçı Christine Kim bu tekniği kullanarak geleneği korurken, güncel sanat bağlamında da söylemlerini yorumlamaktadır. Özellikle portre sanatı ile geleneksel kâğıt kesme sanatı arasında soyut ve somut bağlantılar kurma arayışındaki sanatçı, kompozisyon kurguları ile de özgün bir tavra sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Doküman analizi ve eser inceleme yönteminin kullanıldığı bu araştırmada kâğıt kesme (paper cutting) tekniği kavram ve çalışma şekli bağlamında ifade edilecek ve bu alanda önemli eserler üreten Christine Kim’in çalışmaları örnekler üzerinden değerlendirilecektir. Çin kâğıt kesme geleneğine kısa bir bakışla başlayan makale, Kim’in çalışmalarının analiz edilip değerlendirildiği ve bu özgün sanat pratiğinin raslantısallıktan istikrarlaşmaya nasıl gittiğini anlatıldığı bir eksende ilerleyecektir. Çalışmanın bu alanda eser üretme amacında olanlara ve sanat eğitiminde yeni teknik ve yöntem arayışında olan eğitimcilere faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir. Bu bağlamda Türkçe literatürde kâğıt kesme sanatı alanında sınırlı kaynak olmasının çalışmamızı önemli kıldığı düşünülmektedir.
