I was born in an industrial city in South Korea in 1982 and am currently working on art based in Seoul.
As a child, I liked to spend the abandoned car park alone in the playground. It was an infinite time of daydreaming, and it was better to be hiding because I liked people but was afraid of being hurt.
The little child, who was drawing while looking at the stars and the moon in the night sky, digs deeper into small wounds that began with a slight overlap of memories and relationships.
Putting up a canvas and touching paint made by myself, I pats the wounds inside me. So that your wounds will be healed while you bury them like that way.
What inspires you?
The weight of accumulated emotions is a memory that never leaves me. It's not just that I feel lonely in the shade without light. The weight of my emotions accumulates in me, but I'm not overwhelmed by the weight. have you walked on summer fog? the fog you feel every time you pass the city where you can't see anything is the cold present tears.
Describe your creative process.
These days, paint the canvas with white Jetso and touch it again between the marks made by stacking it up with your own paint. Work repeatedly to remove the scar and wrap the wound.
What are 3 words that best describe your work?
The Scratch of the Heart Hidden in the Darkness.
