“REVIVE” Offering My Thanks 15:39 13/11/2019 (mix)(paint)(depict) Painting

In my creating process, the recorded photos of the scenery are digitally and automatically processed into mosaic. Then I try to reproduce the colour faithfully with analogue using paints. This is the work that comes to the centre. While focusing on the single aspect as extracting colour from the landscape, I use another canvas as a palette to mix and create colours for painting. This creates an unconscious, innocent body of work of "mixing colour", and another pure body of work of "painting colour". The third one is produced to see if we can redefine the word "depict", the etymology of picture and painting, ending up forming a triptych. In this second version of series “REVIVE”, I use the record of photos of daily life and meals before and after the surgery. The main works are of breakfast, lunch and dinner, and painted the scene before and after eating in parallel. I try disassembling the elements and focusing on only simple ones, in a painting in which various elements are intertwined. In addition, I create a simple structure consisting of only cloth and paint to reexamine the fundamentals of painting. It's like a scientist/chemist pursuing something. It could be a fundamental research of art. I think there is something that stands out when you leave out the superfluous elements, even your personal feelings. It may be the meaning and interest of landscape painting, the habit, personality, and physicality of the artist, and the significance of daring to use such a traditional method in this age. Furthermore, I think it may also be the answer to why I paint landscapes. /////////////// "REVIVE" Offering My Thanks 15:39 13/11/2019 (mix), (paint), (depict) 2021 Acrylic on canvas 130x130x4.5cm triptych (390cm width in total) *Signature on the back.*
