The other side – Piece & Perception
The purity of painting as an intention to exclude “objecthood” and “symbolism,” leaves only the most fundamental and natural elements such as lines and colors, light and shadows, time and space. The most restrained expression using minimal elements allows for colors to independently exist. Immaterial materials such as temporality that is spontaneously generated from the association of colors and space or colors and time in a single image, light, and shadow are part of a work and have vitality in themselves.
This also means that each piece of work can be separated and installed in a continuously modified form like a part of space in any setting or have the form of a series of work or independent work. And the difference in the height—which seems to be two-dimensional but three-dimensional—seen in a work itself makes it acquire spatiality by escaping planarity. The work also implies an intention to look like a part of space or exist as part of space, as it raises questions about which comes first, seeing or perceiving. To conclude, the autonomy of a work as a modified form that can be achieved in any space is a concept opposite to the unique nature of the work itself. Visualization through the most restrained expression opens doors to the invisible world, that is the inner world, as a minimal expression of the surface and the outside.

She graduated from HfKB in Bremen Fine Art by Prof. Andree Korpys & Prof. Markus Loeffler(Diplom, Meisterschueler) in Germany after graduating from a Graduate school of visual arts, Kyonggi University(M. F. A. Fine Arts) and Art College of Kyonggi University(B. F. A. Fine Arts) in Korea.
She mainly worked in Germany and Europe and won the Lauenburg Scholarship Award in 2011 in Germany.
She had nine solo exhibitions and has participated in many international group exhibitions.
As shown in the title ‘the other side’, ‘the other side’ as an opposite concept from ‘the surface’ that appears as an existential affects as the main point of her art.
She asks about perception in her visual artwork(Piece) includes immateriality such as light, air, and time in material objects. It refers to the opposite concept to the independent uniqueness nature of the work itself and after all it is placed between physical visibility and mental invisibility.
Ultimately, the spatiality that the opposite concept acquired, opens up the possibility of an underlying invisible world.
It seems to be more closer approached theme in this exhibition ‘The other side- Piece & Perception’ in CICA Museum.
