About The Artwork
Small Earth Blue jeans were created by miners a hundred years ago, but nowadays, even a CEO of a huge company wears them when giving a demo of their products. In other words, they are very universal fashion items. Blue jeans, which are sturdy and tough, are worn and torn as they are wetted by sweats and rubbed by stuff. Can blue jeans that are worn enough to show skin be a proof of hardworking? Do they look good? Worn and torn blue jeans are now a symbol of informality and a tool of expressing self-directed free life. People live in a difficult situation. They can’t go beyond their boundaries for over a year due to the pandemic. We feel keenly how important and valuable freedom is to us. This might be the result of wrongful carelessness that ‘The beautiful earth exists forever.” While realizing the fact that we can’t be happy if we neglect neighbors’ misfortune and regretting doing that, we came to know that the earth is not as huge as we thought. The work is done on the two overlapped canvases. The canvas on top has holes of worn blue jeans arranged, and the bottom canvas seen through the gaps have color-field abstract arranged. Unlike the butterfly effect, in which things affect the other side of the earth after a while, now, the earth is so small that it is like a large family slept together under one blanket, which is expressed by different skin colors revealed through the gaps. “Freedom can be regained only when we overcome this situation with humanity.” Artist’s note, June 2021.

The theme that penetrates many series of my works is the ‘expression of my will to be free through immersion’. The immersion enables me to dominate the canvas with infinite imagination. When I was exhausted by engineering figures filling my whole head in my early days, something offered its hand to me in the last place, which was my old dream to become a painter. The dream has come true now. The meticulous engineering disposition in the past has been changed into persistent concentration on arts, and the results of the immersion have been fully represented as works. The canvas looks like filled with machine parts interlocked with each other. If you take a close look, however, you can see that the marginal space is regarded as more important than entities. In other words, it means that the freedom is always in the order, and it also includes rules inside. The representation of order and rules, and space and freedom is reflecting my thoughts about life as a painter. I want to be remembered as an artist who is always proactive for changes without settling down in the same spot. If my works in the early stage are compared with the current works, it might be difficult to guess that they have been drawn by the same artist. However, the middle process shows that they have been changed just like a word association game. The narrative including humans’ entangled relations and our history in the base part of those works, becomes the matrix of works, so it is in the same context with humans’ nature that does not change despite the ever-changing external transformation.
