BIO
lives and works in Seoul, South Korea. He graduated in 2019 with an MA in Fine Art from Hongik University.
Through the work, the artist represents a utopia for the modern society where hatred and violence ariseaccording to race, background, and value standards. The utopia, which the writer who treats the worldphilanthropically, is a safe space where no one is in pain and no risk factors, and various symbols,metaphors, and motifs appear. The group images in the work represent ourselves at a crossroads of choicein reality, and depict the self-portraits of modern people who want to maintain and protect utopia with lovethrough the act of each choice.The writer deals with the memories and times experienced in daily life. The fragmentary memories betweenconsciousness and unconsciousness are connected to afterimage, and daily experiences are expressed invarious media and colors to be newly combined and listed. The process of coloring and covering are repeated to represent the meaning of time and build fragments of memory. The images of the three-dimensional images are placed on a plane in which perspective is omitted to unite various stories and form a new narrative. The expressionless gaze of the characters, who are also self-portraits, shows the inner emptiness of modern people who lose their expressions. Text that appears like a password in the work acts as a device for the audience to enter the subject of the work through the experience of time to grasp and interpret the meaning. The artist shares a monumental and liberating view of life, highlighting hope through utopia in the era before and after the pandemic. We hope that each life we live now by providing rest and energy to the audience will be an Eden full of love.
