Minji Ryu recalls the emotions she experienced while observing the landscape in her daily life and investigates the manner in which gathered images are displayed in paintings. As a graduate of the Department of Fine Arts at Seoul National University of Science and Technology, she acknowledged the inevitable gap between the experience of gazing at reality and drawing it and took a moment to recognize the landscape that was shared through abstraction and conceptualization. Her paintings focus on the experience of seeing and reproduce the impression produced by substituting an object for a function consisting of light and darkness as a physical image. In this manner, the artist hopes that paintings will serve as a channel for evoking past experiences in the minds of the audience, so reviving their perspective on current life. 

Through a series “Flowery”, she discovered a new aspect of the object in action. And via the process of repetition and cultivation, she attempts to find the object's abstract meaning. Drawing series that depict actual experiences and paintings that reflect experiences gained from daily life have mutually influential effects on one another. The images, which are connected to a small screen in the manner of a snapshot, depict the artist's reflections on the landscape as well as a replication of the remembered events. The light-colored flowers filled with a canvas that resembles a pattern convey the artist's gaze as they observe daily life.
