I drew some town in danger of disappearing. Korea's Seoul, which has an infinite history, is changing too quickly and the important landscapes in our lives are being torn down without valid reasons. I made a work with the thought that any space I love could disappear someday. The waves I draw represent suppression by others or society, to put it simply. Life is becoming more fragmented and I'm being thrown into a lot of ideology. Uncertain information, overflowing images, and experiences in which what was believed to be right changes in an instant, are now difficult to protect even an individual's "belief." I am drawing a work with a message to keep the center of my mind, by putting objects that symbolize various situations of life in my own stylistic form of waves.

South Korea
"Life is like a rough wave, suffering and happiness are repeated. I'm drawing a story about an individual's psychology and an artist's attitude in it." Drawing waves is recording my determination to balance with the center of life. Waves symbolize the huge hegemony of life that sweeps and attracts us, and replace people living in the present era, including myself, with certain objects, to construct the relationship between individuals and society in the picture. I also pay attention to the collective ideology that individuals expect and the confusion and instability of that ideology. Independent human beings are essentially concerned with the ideology, pressure, gaze, and at the same time, the two-sided community comfort that they have no choice but to rely on. It also reflects my desire to find my center and live freely among the waves in the ever-changing standards of right and wrong. I wanted to convey this story smoothly, so the way of expression also needed softer materials. The form of waves was taken from the traditional styles of East Asia, including Korea in the past, and gradually transformed into my own form of expression. Therefore, Seokchae, a pigment that matches the shape of the wave and has its own color, was selected as the main material. The background material was able to create a strong and cozy light by applying agglutination water on linen fabric and mixing pigments and dyes such as stone and bongchae. Philosophers who wanted to find the truth of the world relied on themselves, the last remaining friend and enemy, doubting all the obvious things. I can't always expect to live like a philosopher in a chaotic modern society, but I want to live across the waves at my own will rather than living rich between the waves. I hope such a story can be conveyed to the audience calmly through my paintings. Instagram : @han_hyesoo_
