That is how I feel better about myself and my artwork. I can sit on it for hours and it definitely gets better either by painting over it or looking at it with a different perspective. I can hate my work one day but I know that its not really that terrible. No matter how much I get stressful for choosing this path, I can’t deny that making art is somehow therapeutic. Question Five: What has the process of making art taught you or given you? The mindset of going to a gallery should be easy as watching a film. Nothing! I feel like viewing art should be meaningful internally. Question Four: What do you absolutely need your audience to know about you or your work? I plan to make publications of photo works next year and hopefully settle in a new city and go back to school for a master degree. But I am forever grateful that I have a rocking home studio and my artworks shifted so much into an unexpected direction during this time. All my plans to travel and making art in a different city got cancelled. This is such a sad answer but I am trapped in my home studio due to the pandemic. Question Three: In terms of your artistic journey, why are you here and where are you going?
As an Asian artist I am always aware and interested in redefining the cultural language that wider audience can resonate and relate to. Although we were raised in a very multicultural background, East Asian art is still often defined by traditional elements. Through my art practice I try to suggest/ introduce the perspective of Koreans in our generation.
I went to openings and artist talks as a child so that definitely influenced my artistic vision.
I was raised under artist parents so art was always around me. My artistic inspiration comes from Korean media and pop culture to traditional artifacts, suburban life in North America. After the quarantine period I am interested in collaging paintings and sculptural paintings. I usually paint abstracted figures and flat interior spaces. I’ve been moving back and forth between Seoul and Vancouver throughout my life. I am an artist living and working in Vancouver.
