About The Artwork

Sewn up consolation or sympathy for 'Us' "The first time that I found a material which I can paint on besides the normal canvas was a bedsheet. A bedsheet you can easily get with light colors and even with patterns looked proper enough to me to work on. And then I started to perceive the traces of time along with the feelings slowly permeated, engraved on the fabric. That was the very beginning of my interest in fabric I guess(used fabric exactly). A fabric piece which already has its own story attracted me more than white canvas that I should start from nothing. I was more interested in making narratives through the faded traces of lives and histories, so to speak. And then my interest in 'used fabric' gradually gave way to 'used clothes'. Used clothes - items not only worn on the body but items as an evidence of our 'arduous life' in my way of definition. Then I started to collect 'used clothing' and cut the clothes into small pieces. And I sewed the fabric pieces together, large enough to cover the whole wall or cover a large structure. I didn't know exactly what I really wanted to realize by making such a large fabric piece. But 'why' is not important. The artist's intentions sometimes are revealed after years, after the work was created. Some say more about connections between the fabrics, some say more about the fantasies it gives. Many different views and interpretations will follow. But I had a little different idea. Having worked on fabric piece so long, I found myself one day giving more meaning to the act and process itself to make the piece than the finished ones. Cutting,painting,sewing,drawing... Repeating this hard process felt like a kind of ritual to me. It just came to my mind that by doing this difficult and harsh process myself, I give my consolation or sympathy for 'Us' including the artist myself. 'Us' as one of the pieces in the large connected fabric."

Korean Painter, Sculptor Born in 1962, Studied at Hong Ik University majoring in Painting(BFA) Lives and works in Paju,South Korea. - "All the ideas for this 'Paddling' Series come from playing in the water or paddling on the water. Your thought on where the brushstrokes begins and ends just make sense in that point. Because when you paddle on the water, the act of paddling appears on the water and then disappears. In that sense, it's meaningless to find where it starts and ends and even meaningless to distinguish 'drawing' action from 'erasing' action on water. That's how I drew the concept of 'drawing on water', so to speak, onto the canvas in this series" - 2020, Yoon Joo
