Trueblue
The Trueblue(2021) series started from a feeling of inferiority and conflict with blue, which I have been unable to deal with as a painter. Trueblue is consistent with my worldview in that blue was considered a color symbolizing fidelity in Western civilization a long time ago, and it also refers to a person with an attitude who does not bend his beliefs.
Not polluting painting from consistent images and discourse is the most essential methodology in the work process. Therefore, the moment the object of expression is replaced with a painting, I tend to be faithful to it self. In a word, it is like a carpe diem painting that pursues 'pictures to see' rather than 'pictures to read', and contemplates the context of living life faithfully in every moment using images of the natural world as a prism.
In a more realistic language, I tend to work based on the most fundamental historical attributes of painting. For example, it is based on oil painting, but its physical characteristic is that it harmonizes with industrial products such as paint spray, tar, and enamel. Completing a work in a fairly short period of time is also a characteristic, which is very personal, so rather than appealing to the audience with emotions that are difficult to empathize with, they completely decolorize their emotions and stand on a sharp day of reason and set the subject in a primitive way. In addition to the attitude of looking directly at the object beyond myself, it is a painting as a medium to go beyond the object itself in the painting and make contact with the source.
