About the art
Artist statement
I'm a metal artist applying the technique of metal to the sensibility of painting and makes a new style of three-dimensional painting. As for me, metal wire could become a unique tool that would draw lines and make images instead of a pencil or brush. And I think communication is the most important requirement for art. So I'd like to share with everyone the beauty that I feel and express through the works.
This 'Draw the Time' is the work about the preciousness of time and memory.
Like small things add up to big things, every single moment makes a long lifetime.
People tend to set a high value on the future, but I often realize how much we cherish the memories of the good old days and miss them.
I try to express precious memories that make us smile and give us the power to live on. Detailed wires and textures mean accumulated time, like the sedimentary rocks. And various vibrant colors mean diversity of unique memories.
I put the plaster on the wood panel to make natural textures. And I also welded aluminum wires and combine them with the panel to make three-dimensional effects. And I’d like to show the delicate and elaborate characteristic of metal by using thin aluminum wires.
I hope people can hear what I talk through my work and feel the warm sensibility of metals.
