About The Artwork

I took an image from 'black and white' by choreographer Jiri Kylian and put a picture of my family on it. I can't take these family photos forever, but these works bring me meaningful memories and fantasies, and at the same time bring me a sense of euphoria. The family you loved no longer exists in this world or it is difficult to meet again. The memories I had with them when I was young no longer exist in reality. All of my work materializes only three for eternity. There is no case where three or more identical works are materialized. We do not materialize dozens or hundreds of prints like a print work. In special cases, there may be only one. This work is limited to 3 pieces.** My work has an upgrade if necessary. At that time, only one materializes. print : LUCIA PRO ink . Long-lasting pigment ink, discoloration and deterioration 200-year basic warranty For production of the world's most expensive ink exhibition work paper :FineArt Baryta 325g Made in Germany Hahnemuhle, Baryta emulsion, 100% fiber

I was born in China in 1983. My grandfather and grandmother immigrated to China because of the war in Korea. My father is a painter and I was good at drawing. My father forbade me to paint because I was told that painting while growing up would make me poor. However, I drew a lot of pictures secretly because I didn't need any materials and there was nothing physically left to draw on a computer. I was told that if I dance, I can get a job at a national art organization, so in 1998, my teachers at the Arts High School suggested that I enter a dance school. So, until 2004, I graduated from dance college and came to Korea to study in Korea because it was not fun to do art under the communist system. He studied choreography at Korea National University of Arts and received various art education at that school. It allowed me to think about what real art was and gave me a sense of freedom and freedom. Especially in Korea, I was an international student and the school was very special, so there were not many restrictions for me. Even if he behaved differently because he was a foreigner, there was little pressure from the professors. So, after graduating in 2007, I started my artistic career in earnest and created my own art group. In 2009, my wife got pregnant and got married in a hurry, and I had to support my family. At that time, we were poor and had to earn a living right away, so I couldn't continue my art. My wife is Korean and I am Korean from China, so there was a conflict between the family. Most of my family was in China, and they also moved further away from each other in search of a better and better life. So my family gradually dispersed and lived far from each other. Many families have died. My best friend in Korea also died in 2018. In 2020, he also divorced his wife for unknown reasons. In this way, most of the people I loved or who loved me went away. The harmonious, loving family atmosphere of my childhood has become impossible again, and I even feel like I am alone in space. Although I share the same Korean blood, there was subtle discrimination in Korea. Because I was a Korean from a communist country called China, strange discrimination always existed. Relationships with people and relationships with peoples became a very big topic for me. I always dream of life before the age of 12. It was the happiest time, and I had a lot of loving family around me and it was fun.
