Artist’s Note
Aspirations to the unknown world with limitless beginning and end made me have an interest to ‘a visible world’ and ‘an invisible world.’ Therefore my paintings start with “Does a boundary line exist between the two worlds?”. While various primary colors are dripped and blended with gold and silver, the images of pattern which previously showed disappear without a trace. Especially implying in the motion of ‘dripping’, contingency and variability are my desire for chaos that contains every aspects of the world, such as accidents and inevitable consequences.
Spaces that are created this way are the invisible existence and a space of meditation that desires the essence of pure consciousness. Therefore, it could be a former space of uncertain state or paradoxically it could be a space of ‘now, here.’
