About the work

Jeroz captures the romance found within the chilly undertones of urban life. Through his work, he frequently portrays scenes of men, adorned in fedoras, navigating the city's nightlife, with their features concealed behind sunglasses and mustaches, stirring intrigue. ‘Island,’ a figure wearing a fedora and a bulky jacket makes an appearance, invoking the ambiance of the 1970s in America. The artist reveals that the title of the work was inspired by a quote from a film that said, "A man is an island." He then metaphorically applies the term 'island' to the fedora-clad man who, in a world that fears ostracization from groups, is unable to mingle with others. The artist encourages viewers to harbor curiosity and envision the ponderings of the floating man within his work.

Jeroz
Jeroz
Seoul, South Korea · b. 1991

Jeroz illustrates the romance that dwells within the urban coldness. In a story-like circumstance, the character's sunglasses conceal their eyes and their moustaches cover their mouths, allowing the audience to infer and assume the facial emotions of people with unknown faces as situations in work. The strong saturation and contrast of the dark night reflect the location's temperature, and each moving animation piece contributes to the work's amusement. The introduction of the work is written as an excerpt from a novel, offering the audience the opportunity to explore the content before and after it. The artist hopes that the universe shown in the painting is a world that is both cool and romantic, and in which the viewer lives fiercely.
