Seoul, South Korea, b. 1984
I had painted the landscapes that passed by fleetingly. Looking back, all that remained were the dry landscapes, filtered through my own filter, leaving only monochromatic shapes lingering in my mind. Currently, I'm more focused on expressing the colors and forms of the subjects as perceived through my brushstroke, rather than shaping the mental images in my mind. To be honest, I've deliberated a lot on the subjects I find beautiful and the ways to portray them. In the natural subjects I observe, there's texture in everything. Trees display different textures based on their types, and when they come together to form a mountain, each tree's texture contributes to a collective yet distinct texture for the entire landscape. The texture of sea waves also varies with time, weather, and seasons, influenced by the direction and intensity of the wind. These textures, filtered through my vision, manifest differently on my brush and create diverse patterns within the rectangular canvas. As for the subjects, there are no predetermined themes or special elements. However, one thing stands out – I paint natural landscapes that have emotionally resonated with me, excluding human traces. In my paintings, there are no houses, streetlights, power poles, or roads. If you were to imagine the surroundings of the uninhabited landscapes I paint, it might resemble the environment when one is left alone on a deserted island. Perhaps, in my art, I wish to savor, admire, and cherish such landscapes that others might overlook. I hope they get lost in the beauty of the untouched nature I've depicted, with no human presence, and simply indulge in the experience of admiration.
