The fusion of metal and painting dismantles the boundaries of traditional pictorial practice, pursuing the expansion of medium as a means to probe the ontological truth embedded within the depths of human thought. Metal, the central substance of my work, embodies the backbone of civilization—an element forged upon the relentless struggles of humanity’s aspiration toward the ideal. It contains a primordial energy latent within matter itself. The rough surface rendered through grinding reveals both light and wound, inscribing the traces of a life that has defied its destined course. It stands as an act of resistance against the erosion of time, a testimony of reverence toward the fragile lives that have withered within the continuum of conflict and regeneration. Through the repetitive gestures of cutting the metal plate and layering pigments, destruction and reconstruction, disintegration and awakening are enacted in cycles —symbolizing the pilgrim’s ascent toward self-awareness. Within this process, the surface transforms into a site of experiment where physical labor and spiritual inquiry converge. My practice, situated upon a medium that records both time and humanity, becomes an act of embodying existence itself—an existential pilgrimage seeking the immortal ideal that lies beyond form.

Colorbeat presents curated exhibitions centered on the works of contemporary artists, serving as an experimental exhibition space where current sensibilities and social contexts are articulated through art. Rather than being confined to specific media, the gallery organically highlights a wide range of practices—including painting, sculpture, installation, and video—while offering in-depth insight into the attitudes and critical perspectives of artists living and working in our time. In particular, Colorbeat actively discovers and supports emerging artists who work freely across media, providing ongoing exhibition opportunities and fostering critical discourse to encourage their long-term growth. By focusing not only on completed works but also on artistic processes and trajectories of thought, the gallery enables visitors to engage with art in a more layered and immersive way. Beyond mere appreciation, each exhibition functions as an open platform for collectively exploring the possibilities of contemporary art.
