Louis Choi Chuljoo's Art criticism: Damien Hirst's work The Shark is not an artwork, but a conceptual representation.


Damien Hirst's work Shark, which follows commercial pop art that rejects romantic aesthetic acts created by the United States, is not an artwork but a conceptual representation.

The time has passed for his sketches to be wrapped in conceptual art and popularized as British pop art.

Concept is an act of art that meets reality. If reality becomes stuffed animal, not a painting, it is an excessive literary idea.     


Pop art, which rejected real aesthetic behavior, emphasized various consumerism that deviated from social norms, but communicated with the media.

The conceptual value of Damien's work, which represents contemporary art in England, cannot be replaced by an aesthetic act that has stopped by mistaking it for Shakespeare's play.


Modern art stopped meaningless aesthetic activities through photography momentarily as it barely began to breathe in the prohibited regulations of the past time, but his shark, which is not different from the photographic image, is just an image using formaldehyde as a developer.

Conceptual artists focus on imagination in conceptual art, but their concepts do not represent the concepts of contemporary art.


Therefore, just because the concept of contemporary art cannot be known, a simple concept cannot be decorated with artistic value.

His brand, created by Tate and Saatchi Gallery, contributed to his work like a commercialized work, transforming aesthetic behavior into the value of precious metals.

And can the former head of interpretation of the Tate Museum, who raised Hirst's sketches to the level of Cubist Picasso, say similar sketches are different in concept!     


Although the art act turned out to be non-realistic, the romantic painter who tried to meet the real repeatedly encountered the canvas painted as non-realistic and became contemporary art./ Writing. Art critic Choi Chul-joo (Doctor of Cultural Design)
