short artist statement
My artistic process is based on the perception of my environment- that is now Korea especially Seoul, where I live and work. I am interested in the transformations in society and the way that shows in the cityscape and in the relations of functions and appearances. In that context, the well-known landmarks and sights appear less interesting for me than exploring the usually overseen common and typical places, the backgrounds, the places behind and in-between.
My paintings display my reflections the same time as they strive for aesthetic autonomy; with compositions and colors diverting from usual seeing habits.
That shifted view might lead to sensing my views and ideas, otherwise the paintings can still be appreciated as aesthetic autonomous objects.
