Homage to Kodak Painting

I was sad when I heard the news the Kodak Company would close their film line. It was another big farewell to the generation I was grew up and I felt urge to do something. I started to draw the Kodak photo paper and added the letters with carefully following the format on the back of paper with switching them into the founded and closing dates, the founder's name. Every marks I made was the evidence of mindfulness and being there. Then I put the drawing and my painting together... I saw the infusion of reality and illusion, now and then, here and there. - Artist Note Yi has produced a large series of these wall paintings, which she first debuted at her MFA exhibition at SFAI in2004. They are a clever mix of resolute trompe l'oeil work that creates the illusion of three-demensions and acknowledgement of the two-dimensionality of both a flat wall and a flat canvas. These can be startling paintings, as what seems at first glance to be either a blank canvas or an abstract work crystallizes into a realistic documentation of nail holes, paint smudges, bits of making tape and the makrs of dirty fingers. Typical of Yi's work, her wall paintings also tap into more existential questions. As critic Kenneth Baker has written, Yi's subject of a wall in the artist's studio "might suggest the desperation of a painter bereft of ideas," as the stares mutely back at her. - Jennifer Bathke, Curator, SVAM Museum
