Through repetitive actions within a meditative painting practice, Nam creates a modern interpretation of golbeop (??)--a classical principle of East Asian painting that emphasizes the structural vitality and life force of the brushstroke.
His work organically bridges tradition and contemporaneity, craftsmanship and abstract form, and physicality and spirituality, while weaving together personal memory and collective cultural experience. The central formal elements of his practice are lines reminiscent of furrowed fields and architectural motifs, such as traditional lattice windows and rafters.
