<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Se Won Shin</strong> was a young innovative leader of a <a href="http://www.hanol.org/en/main.php" target="_blank"><strong>Korean</strong> religious foundation</a><sup>1)</sup> who retired to introduce a new way of art called <strong>Trans-Art,</strong> expressing &#39;<strong>Enlightenment and Awakening</strong>&#39;<strong> </strong>based on his own experience.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Sewon</strong> was well known in his youth as a prodigious painter<sup>2)</sup> until he discontinued his art and majored in Politics, Philosophy and Economics at <strong>Oxford University</strong>.<sup>3)</sup></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, the unexpected and sudden passing of his father, who was the <a href="http://www.hanol.org/en/founder.php" target="_blank">founder of the <strong>Hanol</strong> religion</a><sup>4)</sup> (the religious re-establishment of the Korean national founding principle based on the philosophy of <strong>Spiritual Enlightenment</strong>),<sup>1)</sup> eventually led him to return to art expressing <strong>&#39;Spiritual Enlightenment&#39;</strong> based on his own experience.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Trans-Art</strong> (<em>Trans-form art, Transcendental art, Trans-ego art</em>) is a new form of art introduced by the Korean artist <a href="http://blog.naver.com/OpenMagazineViewer.nhn?blogId=jkwook2013&amp;logNo=80205866828&amp;categoryNo=7&amp;parentCategoryNo=&amp;viewDate=" target="_blank"><strong>Sewon Shin</strong></a>.<sup>5)</sup></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Trans-Art</strong> is <strong>Art</strong> that transcends the conventional form of art in order <strong>to express and experience</strong> the formless &#39;<strong>essence of art</strong>&#39; which shares one and the same nature with our &lsquo;<strong>true essence beyond form</strong>&rsquo;.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>In Part 1 &lsquo;Optical Awakening&rsquo;, he integrates &#39;Spiritual-meditation into Art&#39;</strong>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>In Part 2 &lsquo;Tasting-Art&rsquo;, he integrates &#39;Taste with Art&#39;</strong>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>In Part 3 &lsquo;Mobile Art&rsquo;, he combines &#39;Technology with Art&#39;</strong>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Trans-Art Part 1 </strong>can be considered as an<strong> indirect experience of &#39;</strong><strong>Spiritual Transcendence&#39; </strong>by the <strong>&#39;visualization of Enlightenment and Awakening&#39; </strong>in the form of Art.&nbsp;</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>In his major work, Part 1: the &#39;<strong>Optical Awakening series</strong>&#39;, the artist attempts to express the &#39;<strong>Enlightenment and Awakening</strong>&#39; which is <strong>beyond </strong>&#39;<strong>Form</strong>&#39;, by using the <strong>multi-dimensional expression</strong> method that he acquired from his own experience of the &#39;<strong>enlightening and awakening</strong>&#39; process.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Trans-Art </strong>provided a basis for the 1st and 2nd reformation of the Korean traditional religion <strong>Hanol-gyo.</strong><sup>6)</sup></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>Furthermore, <strong>Trans-Art </strong>served as a driving force of&nbsp;the&nbsp;&lsquo;<strong>Hanol spiritual and cultural movement of Art</strong>&rsquo;, a new way of participating in <strong>Hanol</strong> philosophy and its spiritual teachings without religious obligation. <strong>The Hanol spiritual movement of art</strong> - the integration of art and spirituality, can be considered as a revolutionary approach to religious innovation and spiritual evolution in the face of an intellectual and spiritual singularity.<sup>6)</sup></p>
