Unforgotten knots Painting

My work begins with an experience of the absence that came out of losing family and that's why some uneasy emotion is accompanied all the time. The mind that wants to deny present makes my memory returns to the past and I collected past photos. The static memory in the photo gave me comfort sometimes, but it gradually seems strange. I started to express the disturbance between the comfort and strangeness by painting, most familiar medium for me. The overall image shape had been newly expressed with a slight omission, a clear contrast of colors, and the figures' exaggerated face expressions. In that way, I tried to take a sense of the 'Deja-vu' as a kind of chemistry that happens in the process of conversion from photo to painting. Gradually, when the sadness caused by the absence diminished and emotions became new points of change, the work flowed in a new direction. I've focused on the specific part of the picture by using ‘Cropping’, the way only used oil painting have changed using with oil painting, oil pastel, charcoal to leave repetition of body motion and temporality in the screen so it started to show the motion of the hand. Delete a part which include faces of people in the old picture or remanufacture the covered image a painting will form the quality and quantity of information that could extend correlations to more people and the work Since my work starts with personal experience and is based on old photos related to that, people often could attempt to find fixed or learned nostalgic emotions in my work as well. However, the process of cropping is being done by very limited rules (personal punctum), and the materials of my work will continue to be expanded further out of the individual domain. In this regard, I hope many other attempts will be made in my work in the future besides only recalling the pensive emotions of the past. I think that my work will be emphasized as a social record which present images of a limited area selected by a certain rule repeatedly. I have been working on objectivity that I can find in photos as a record of a series of symbols, also trying to integrate it with its coldness I will continue to attempt to capture through the conversion process of photographs and paintings with circulation between warmth and objective coldness.
