Artist Note

Tornado 

This work is the most cherished abstract work of mine recently, and I planned not to upload it until the end of September, but yesterday and today, the all-time typhoon "Hinnamno" is hitting the country, so I upload it in advance.After drawing a golden pillar of fire, which is complex and concise like a honeycomb, I thought that Yongoreum might be like this, so the title was decided so. Of course, Yongoreum and tornadoes should be drawn like a whirlwind in a dynamic configuration, but this genre is not a conceptual world that requires detailed explanation, so it was finished with a very simple and simple vertical treatment.The first thing about a work is that the writer must be satisfied and happy with himself.I can see that I'm confused and uncomfortable, so who can relate? I can't reveal it here, but I'll tell exhibition officials not to give a penny off if anyone asks for the price of this painting at the exhibition hall. This is because of its own confidence that it will not be disappointing at all even if it is not sold. Even for a painter who specializes in creation, the numerous paintings are not more so. Attachment is a highly selective thing.


​Lakeside night view
​
At the end of the last exhibition, the work was hurriedly inserted even though it was not on the list of scheduled exhibitions.It was a painting that was completed a day before the exhibition opened, and as someone said, the ink was not dry. It's a painting that I was attached to, but in fact, I've painted the night view more than anyone else, not as an abstract artist, so the memories of working on the night view in the past may have bitten by the tail. The biggest reason why the night view and the snow scene in winter are beautiful is that they show the beauty of the blank space by omitting or hiding much of the reality in front of them, which is because the snow or darkness covers much of the reality in front of them. Of course, this work is not such a quiet landscape painting, but isn't there something in common with abstract work?


 Forgotten seasons

The work of Hwangdong of J, a Korean paper for the board, has recently remained one of my favorite works.This abstract work, which was completed about a month ago, similar to the title of the popular song "Forgotten Season," was a work that briefly lost its soul in the atmosphere of sinking into the lyric of the peak autumn. Originally, like the lyrics of popular songs, it was a deep mountain to upload this work on the last night of October, but it seemed like a new wave of drama, ignoring the original plan.Depending on the composition and theme of the painting, there are paintings that fit only when the size of the work is small, and vice versa, and this painting is thought to be the cutest size in about No. 25. Recently, among the people around me, I couldn't hide my discomfort in sympathizing with the fact that I didn't even look at a painting under room 100 as if I had a thorn in my throat. Of course, I've done a lot of masterpieces, and when I did DP in the exhibition hall, the size of room 100 looked so shabby, so a few days ago, I ordered several large canvases of room 200 to 300, but the size and quality of the painting are completely different.

Regardless of the size of the picture, the process of creation, such as a field that you organize and cultivate, must consistently grind your own flesh. At this time, the soul and body are also the responsibilities and tasks of the "process" that must be completed within a limited time given to humans. Like this picture, is it something like a feeling that overlooks the cultivated crops that have been cultivated since early spring in the ripe persimmon field in front of you? This will also be a forgotten season that passes by like a flash, but...


 Forest road at dawn

​ It is said that early morning dew and mist are not good for health, and that walking on forest roads before dawn breaks is more to lose than gain. For me, who does not enjoy walking or jogging or hiking very early, there is no such thing, but just imagining the forest path at dawn is very refreshing and I think I can get the energy of pure nature. How refreshing is the forest road just before accepting the sun, even the footprints that move like letting go of a moot, That's all it is to it.

If you stand in front of two unfamiliar paths in the forest where you can't tell the direction like this abstract work, you can enter a flat path like a life journey, but you can also meet a rough road that falls into endless abyss. The two paths that we met at dawn when the darkness has not yet lifted are microcosm of our lives. It has come into contact with an unknown world that is unpredictable for humans. Therefore, the idiom often used in this case is Unchilgisam, which is 70% lucky and 30% Ki. In other words, luck is more important than luck, which means that the success or failure of everything that happens in a person's life depends on luck, not effort.
