I have tried to look outside, in order to explore where I can reach beyond the present reality. I try to\u00a0capture images of geographical environments around me, but they soon lose their specialness.\u00a0By keeping the safe distance from the subjects\/objects, I refrain from being too sympathetic or over identifying\u00a0with them, and only express the image as a situation on the canvas. All the images are\u00a0represented as abandoned areas and empty spaces, where time will no longer be reconstructed. The\u00a0aura of old landscapes and spaces is replaced by artistic effort, where there is no room for dry facts\u00a0to get in.<\/p>\n
While I was in the one-year residency program, I painted images of the surrounding environment on\u00a0canvases. Most of them are thin and dry images of old factories. Just like all the other landscapes, the\u00a0images allow me to be aware of the phenomenon incurred by the remainder of my memories, which is\u00a0very different from the facts. In the context of art history, becoming a topic of art, and being selected\u00a0as an image of art, are related to the semiotic sign system through which we understand things.\u00a0Therefore, there is no perfectly independent view that is completely mine and mine alone. I only\u00a0express the perceived image on the canvas, and it is perceived as one painted work by viewers in their\u00a0own perceptual contexts. Painting is only about traces of scattered afterimages. Trying to\u00a0conceptualize my own work with practical reasoning and logical background ideas seems almost an\u00a0impossibility \u2013 that is why, when I try to write an artist statement, I cannot help feeling incongruous\u00a0and out of place, like being dressed up in fancy ill-fitting clothing. No matter how hard I try to develop\u00a0the ideas, I wonder whether I could bring anything meaningful by confronting the pace of reality with\u00a0some sensory logic or reason of my own, besides simply showing an image or a scene. I only hoped that\u00a0my artworks, which have already become part of the past, will be another set of my meaningful\u00a0mistakes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","categories":[],"class_list":["post-21774","kb_artist","type-kb_artist","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"article_image":21732,"article_image_bu_de":"Wouldn\u2019t it be a blue flower, 2016, Mixed media Installation","article_image_bu_en":"Wouldn\u2019t it be a blue flower, 2016, Mixed media Installation","datum_suche":"2017-04-04 10:32:13"},"yoast_head":"\n
