Visual Frame Story 80 Painting

#Visual Frame Story Like there is a “story within a story”, there exists a certain framed structure in literature. My work borrows this framed structure in literature to create a Visual Frame Story; a frame is incorporated within a frame to accommodate a picture within a picture. Through studying art, I had learned that a frame acts as the domain for a picture, supports it, and is the finishing element to the artistic piece. However, the frames in my work are beyond these supportive functions as it is used like paint, as an objet for a concept of the piece. The role of the frame, as Korean architecture that harmonises with nature and its surroundings and unlike the more Westernised buildings that stand out from the landscape, is emphasised. This concept not only aims to consider frames as something more than the conventional functional object, but aims to break the frames in stereotypes. #Butterfly & Bamboo We usually call a straightforward person ’upright’. However, a straightforward person is considered too stiff, too prim, too proper. On the other hand, someone who obsesses on what is beautiful is considered too dissolute, too lazy, too idle. These two things seem like two rabbits you lose if you chase both. In my work, the butterflies symbolise ‘beauty’ and the bamboo represent ‘uprightness’. Through the harmonious way the butterflies flutter through the field of bamboo, I wanted to show that ‘beauty’ and ‘uprightness’ can also work together in people. #Breaking the Frame Breaking out of familiarity is difficult: waking up early, exercising an hour a day, eating less. Routines end up shaping us but imprisoning us from trying something new. I wanted to break out of my frame of habits, stubbornness and fixations. This is what my broken frames signify. #Harmony My art is visual; I create works to show it to people. It is often the case that paintings are simply hung on a backdrop of plain white-washed walls. I want to ensure that the concept behind my artwork allow effective communicate between the art itself and where the art is displayed. When working on my art, I emphasise the fact that a painting can be considered complete as a piece of visual art only if it harmonises with its surrounding space. Therefore, I use a lot of material used in interior design to form an intersection between the artwork and its displayed space.
