Draw the light - OS05 Painting

I’m a metal artist applying metalworks to painting. Considering that artwork is a special language to an artist, metal is the most suitable and attractive way for me to communicate with people. So I always try to reflect my thoughts and sensibilities on the work. I pursue the harmony between the sensibility of painting and the delicate skill of the metalwork. And I try to make them in good balance and moderation. In this regard, my artwork is differentiated from normal painting in many ways. I always try to reflect my inspiration into various metallic materials according to the subject of each artwork. Every artwork essentially includes metal as a main material and it's combined with the textured and colored wood panel. And depending on the subject matter, I choose the most appropriate one out of various kinds of metals (steel, stainless steel, aluminum, etc.). So it has distinctive matiere and three-dimensional effects. This artwork ‘Draw the light’ is also made of a metal (stainless steel wire), wood and plaster. Lights are not easily recognizable, almost invisible, but do exist everywhere in the world. I believe real beauty can be felt within the heart. Even if the moonlight is pale, in the shadow of the night I can feel vivid displays of the light with my mind. I’d like to express brilliant light in my mind that spreads just like gentle waves on the surface of the water. And I’d like to show the delicate and elaborate characteristic of metal by using stainless steel wires in unique colors. And I hope people can hear what I talk through my work and feel the intrinsic beauty of lights and warm sensibility of metals.
