About The Artwork

I was often curious about the experience of air coming in and out of my nose when I breathe. The air in Earth's atmosphere is made up of approximately 78 percent nitrogen and 21 percent oxygen. Air also has small amounts of lots of other gases, too, such as carbon dioxide, neon, and hydrogen. This painting started not from the image of any particular substance, but from the imagination of nitrogen and oxygen that we need to breathe. In the 2014 British-American epic science fiction film Interstellar, directed and produced by Christopher Nolan, Cooper overcomes Murphy's Law and finally discovers an important clue in a black hole. This movie made me think about invisible laws and matters. As I draw this painting, I ask myself questions about the images hiding invisible equations. The relationship between things that can be seen and touched, people, and immaterial that are not, is zero. I think of the color I drew that would inevitably be placed next to a certain color. It inevitably measures the exact saturation and brightness of a color that will be placed next to a particular color. Air also has small amounts of lots of other gases, too, such as carbon dioxide, neon, and hydrogen. The space in this painting entangled in this picture looks like I can't get into it. It looks as if a law is being created. I like how those moments are left on the canvas as they are.There may be an inevitability as well. Or maybe a mathematical principle that miraculously fits right may be established. I would like to appreciate my patience in my pursuit of perfection through this painting.

" Colors produce the most beautiful when I most honestly reveal emotions. " I am a painter based in Seoul. The structural observation of Mother Nature through curves and primal forces is a visual element connected to musical composition techniques. I was strongly attracted to musical composition techniques, especially serialism, and at the point when I tried to use the musical forms of Messiaen and Schinberg in paintings, the perspective of representation in my paintings from looking at real objects had already changed significantly. My view of art is completely connected to Greek and Roman art and oriental calligraphy, blank space aesthetic conditions. Henri Matisse(1869-1954) still plays a guiding role in my paintings. decoration is pursued within two-dimensional synthesis. This is because I am a person who pursues purity in life. That is when I am happiest. The ultimate reason for drawing is to think deeply about how and to what extent I should act within the triangle of human will and freedom.
