Kim en Joong est né en Corée en 1940. Fils de calligraphe, il étudie d'abord la calligraphie traditionnelle, puis entre aux Beaux-Arts de Séoul. Pour assurer sa subsistance pendant ses études, il enseigne le dessin au petit séminaire de Séoul. Il découvre le christianisme et se convertit. En 1969, Kim en Joong vient en Suisse et en France pour étudier l'art contemporain occidental et s'engager dans une vie de peintre et d'artiste. Là, il rencontre les dominicains et demande à être reçu dans leur Ordre. Il sera ordonné prêtre en 1974. Quelques dominicains éminents parmi ses aînés l'encouragent alors à poursuivre son œuvre comme forme de " prédication silencieuse " (Fra Angelico). Il travaille beaucoup et pendant des années, avant que des écrivains (Julien Green...), de grands galeristes (Yoshi, Sapone, Cazeaux-Béraudière...) et des spécialistes de l'art (Jean-Louis Prat, Bernard Antonioz...) ne se passionnent pour son travail qui s'inscrit dans l'esprit de l'art sacré. Bientôt il crée des vitraux pour de hauts lieux de la spiritualité contemporaine et du patrimoine monumental : cathédrale d'Évry, de Chartres, monastère de Dax, abbaye de Ganagobie, de Fontfroide, basilique de Brioude. Ce premier ouvrage publié sur l'œuvre en vitrail du Père Kim en Joong présente, à travers un parcours de 19 grandes réalisations, les apports esthétiques et spirituels d'une œuvre de méditation à la force exceptionnelle. Une vision contemporaine inédite et riche de signification d'un artiste à la recherche d'une autre lumière. -- Kim en Joong was born in Korea in 1940. The son of a calligrapher, he studied traditional calligraphy before entering Art School in Seoul. To earn his living during his student years, he gave drawing lessons in the little seminary in Seoul. There he discovered and was converted to Christianity. In 1969, Kim en Joong came to Switzerland and France to study Western contemporary art and begin his life as a painter and artist. There, he met Dominicans and asked to join their Order. He was ordained priest in 1974. Some outstanding Dominicans among his elders encouraged him to continue his art, a sort of 'silent preaching' (Fra Angelico). He worked a lot during those years; before writers (Julien Green...), important gallery owners (Yoshi, Sapone, Cazeaux-Béraudière...) and specialists (Jean-Louis Prat, Bernard Antonioz...) expressed their enthusiasm for his creations, accomplished in the spirit of sacred art. Soon he was creating stained glass windows for summits of contemporary spirituality and our national heritage: the Cathedral of Évry, Chartres, the Monastery at Dax, the Abbaye of Ganagobie, Fontfroide, the Basilica in Brioude. This is the first book published on the stained glass works of Father Kim en Joong. It presents 19 great creations, which reveal the aesthetic and spiritual intensity of a work of meditation with exceptional force. A unique contemporary vision, rich in meaning, from an artist who seeks his light elsewhere.
