Artist Note — 'In My Life, the 50s Are Pilgrims on the Road' (2011)
Summary
A short artist note posted by Shin Jang-sik on his own blog — under the self-identifying declaration "In my life, the 50s are pilgrims on the road," the note unfolds four short reflections on the identity of the artist's path and the pilgrim's path, and the artist's wish to sing an 'Arirang of Hope.' Captions for two key works — Arirang — Joyful Day and Mt. Geumgang Manmulsang — accompany the text.

Body
"In my life, the 50s
are pilgrims on the road."
I find myself thinking that the path of an artist is also the path of a pilgrim, and that painting is a tool of practice.
What was I searching for, wandering across the world, across East and West, ancient and modern?
Even the slightest glimmer of light — if I could give it form, that would be enough.
With painting, I want to sing an 'Arirang of Hope.'
