About The Artwork

Drawing From the Ostracized World For the past three years I have lived with, and survived aside the overlooked, misunderstood, and ostracized. In multiple nations around the world, I watched people during the most difficult times of their lives struggle with their own anxiety, frustration, and anger. How does one find themselves within the world? What does this speak to the human condition? How can witnessing such an experience help affect change and a new perspective in the lives of the rest of us? Looking inversely at my own experiences, and how I embrace and reflect upon the world, the questions that grew increasingly concerning surrounded art. What is art? What makes a painting a painting? How is it possible to find a balance between visualization and context? How will the artwork I create fit within the global conversation, or within the timeline of art during our civilization? An Ordinary Day ​ In Bangladesh refugees represent some of the longest historically displaced populations of modern day. Working close with these people as both a psychotherapist and art therapist, I had formulated a direction of my own work after following their daily lives. This exhibit titled “An Ordinary Day” is meant to encapsulate the rigor, harshness, and dramatic emotional landscapes that face these people as they survive; while also recognizing the disparaging discrepancy of experience between the two worlds of the viewer and the subject. My paintings are an attempt to convey the unique atmosphere of the human condition that couldn’t otherwise be captured through photography alone. Behind the Brush ​ As an abstract painter, I’m most driven to explore the contemporary state of our world, and the diversity of culture, through the trials of those who that society and culture reject. This juxtaposition highlights our deep rooted desire to survive, which is exhibited in the willpower of the individuals I spend time with around the world; people forgotten by nations but who refuse to succumb to the harshness of extreme living environments.

Selected Saatchi Rasing Star 2021 My primary interest is the potentiality of objects— and the physical or psychological state changes that take place inside and around us at any given moment. ​ My recent work focuses on a challenge to create figurative paintings which defy a conventional representation of the body and present an alternative that is much more about our conscious and unconscious experience of being in the world. This embodiment references the relationship between our own physicality and our cerebral, societal and imaginative life, foregrounding altered states such as dreaming. It’s very important to me to contrast this intangible scenario with our inevitable, visceral experience of the world. My compositions focus on the human form, often unrecognizable as if affected by the skewed and invisible forces of contemporary physics, revealing the lack of certainty in what we perceive as conventionally reliable spaces and interrelations of objects. The body-subject is therefore present in my works in parallel with a quest to see the space of nothing. ​ I was born in 1986 and grew up in Seoul, Korea. After receiving my BA in Architect Engineering and working several years at an architecture & design firm as an advisor, I came to Boston, BFA to pursue my dream as a visual artist. I received my BFA & BA Psychology degree from Tufts University & School of the Museum of Fine Arts (SMFA) in 2016.
