ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This piece is a sculpture from the 'Ice cream' series, titled 'UFO'. This artwork began as NFT art, capturing the eternally unmelted shape of memories in a familiar form of ice cream. The artist collected leftover acrylic paint to create an imagined ice cream form, shaping it to reflect flavors and memories. The surface was finished with resin to preserve the piece forever in reality. The sculpture evokes sweet childhood memories. As we grow up, these memories transform and simplify, but pain, sorrow, and happiness morph in various ways. This piece aims to eternally reminisce about our happy moments and convey that sentiment to the audience. By using ice cream, a familiar medium, the artwork emphasizes the significance of memories and explores the essence of happiness that remains unchanged over time. The vibrant colors of the acrylic paint and the shimmering surface of the resin provide both visual delight and emotional connection. The 'Ice cream' series aims to materially fix our emotions and memories, preserving them despite the passage of time. This artwork visually records moments of our lives and explores the nature of changing memories. The use of ice cream as a common object plays a crucial role, transcending beyond a simple symbol to a form of artistic expression. Through this, the artist delves into the value of personal and collective memories and how they transform over time.

Throughout my life, I have expressed myself through art. From a young age, I have been fascinated by time and speed, and as an adult, I have come to express myself through the subject of automobiles. As time has passed, my artistic focus has shifted from emphasizing the external allure of automobiles to expressing their inner strength, developing a unique style. In my current work, I depict distorted car shapes as metaphors for the modern generation’s pursuit of happiness and the self-determined paths carved out amidst intense competition. Utilizing acrylic paints, I employ a squeegee scraping technique and incorporate embroidery to create artificial straight lines, conveying notions of speed and temporal forms. This fusion of methods allows me to explore the dynamic interplay between abstraction and representation, reflecting the complexities of contemporary existence.
