Before answering your questions, Iโ€™d like to briefly introduce myself. I was born and raised in South Korea, and I grew up in Seoul since I was young. I graduated from Hongik University majoring in Art studies and Painting. After studying, I worked as a graphic designer for an online game company for more than 10 years. The last 5 years with the company, I spared my time to paint as well. In 2021, I left the company and fully devoted my time in painting since then.

Can you tell us about the process of making your work?

Every day, I sketch as if I keep a dairy. I also keep a note of words and expressions that are impressive to me. When I see the connection among the images in my drawing and the words and expressions in my keeping, I start bringing them together into a painting. Usually, I paint two or three works at the same time. When the first work is about 70% done, the next work comes along. Two or three works get the last brush strokes all at the same time.

How would you define your work in a few words (ideally in 3 words)?

Narratives behind landscape. In my painting, I capture the images of forests and seasons. At the same time, I add fables about life and death to them.

Could you share with us some insights on your painting โ€˜The Forest Where I Am Buriedโ€™ (2022)? Is there any particular story behind this new work?

In my painting, โ€˜The Forest Where I Am Buriedโ€˜ (2022), I wanted to bid condolences to deaths that happen every day. We are all dying every day. Parts of human body die away every day. Just like trees shed leaves every year, death is more common than life in the forest.

You are currently presenting some new works at Every Art gallery in Seoul. Could you talk about your new works that youโ€™re showing at that show?

The current exhibition is โ€˜The Flowing Forestโ€™, and Iโ€™m participating in it as part of a duo. The exhibition shows two paintersโ€™ similar yet different points of view on landscapes. Like I did in my previous works, I continuously paint personal narratives about forests, seasons, and everchanging plants.

Could you give us some more details about your figures that always feature your paintings? Sometimes they look to have a very distinguished presence on your canvases. Sometimes it seems to have them hidden within a boarder visual landscape, whereas some other times their presence is very well highlighted. ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์„ ์ž์„ธํ•˜๊ฒŒ ์‚ดํŽด์ค˜์„œ ๊ณ ๋ง™๋‹ค. ํ‘œํ˜„ํ•˜๊ณ  ์‹ถ์€ ์ด๋ฏธ์ง€๊ฐ€ ์ถ”์ƒ์ ์ผ๋•Œ๊ฐ€ ์žˆ๊ณ  ์ธ๋ฌผ๋“ค์ด ๊ฐ€์ง„ ํ˜•ํƒœ์™€ ์ƒํ™ฉ์ด ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์ผ ๋•Œ๊ฐ€ ์žˆ๋‹ค. ์ง€๊ธˆ์€ ์ž‘ํ’ˆ์˜ ์ œ๋ชฉ๊ณผ ํ‘œํ˜„๋œ ์ด๋ฏธ์ง€์˜ ๊ด€๊ณ„๊ฐ€ ๊ธด๋ฐ€ํ•˜๋‹ค. ๊ฐœ๋ณ„ ์ž‘ํ’ˆ์ด ํ˜•์‹์ ์œผ๋กœ ํ†ต์ผ์„ฑ์„ ๊ฐ–๋Š”๋‹ค๊ธฐ๋ณด๋‹ค ํ”Œ๋กฏ์˜ ํ๋ฆ„์„ ๊ฐ€์ง€๊ณ  ์žˆ๊ธฐ๋„ ํ•˜๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๋ž˜์„œ ์–ด๋–ป๊ฒŒ ๋ณด๋ฉด ์ด์•ผ๊ธฐ์ฑ…์˜ ์‚ฝํ™” ๊ฐ™๊ธฐ๋„ ํ•˜๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ๊ทธ๋ฆผ์˜ ๋‚ด์šฉ์ด ์ธ๊ณผ๊ด€๊ณ„๊ฐ€ ๋ถ„๋ช…ํ•˜๋‹ค๊ธฐ๋ณด๋‹ค ์ƒ์ง•์ ์ธ ์ชฝ์ด๋ผ๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•œ๋‹ค. ์–ธ์  ๊ฐ€ ์ด์•ผ๊ธฐ๋‚˜ ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์ธ ํ˜•ํƒœ๊ฐ€ ์•„์˜ˆ ์‚ฌ๋ผ์ ธ๋„ ๋ถ“๊ณผ ๋ฌผ๊ฐ์˜ ๋ฌผ๋ฆฌ์ ์ธ ํ”์ ๋งŒ์œผ๋กœ๋„ ์„œ์‚ฌ๊ฐ€ ๋  ์ˆ˜ ์žˆ๊ฒ ๋‹ค๋Š” ์ƒ๊ฐ์„ ํ•œ๋‹ค. ์•ž์œผ๋กœ ์ถ”์ƒ๊ณผ ๊ตฌ์ƒ์˜ ๊ฒฝ๊ณ„์—์„œ ์—ฌ๋Ÿฌ ์‹œ๋„๋ฅผ ํ•ด๋ณด๊ณ  ์‹ถ๋‹ค.

Thank you for noticing such details. At times, the images that I pursue are very abstract. Yet there are times when the characters come with more specific shapes and movements. When I look at my current works, I feel that the titles match the images quite well. While my works donโ€™t show structural consistency, they draw plots like illustrations in a storybook. Although the images may not deliver stories directly, they do deliver symbolic meanings. These days, Iโ€™m pondering upon drawing narratives without specific messages or images, only relying on the brush strokes and colors alone. Iโ€™d like to explore the boundaries between abstract and figurative arts in my future works.

Your body of work gives an impression of feeling strongly engaged with plantation, trees or woodlands in a broadly given meaning. Is this assumption adaptable to your paintings? If so, do your works disclose any environmentalist concerns as well? ๋‚˜์˜ ์ž‘ํ’ˆ์— ๋‚˜์˜ค๋Š” ์ˆฒ์€ ์„œ์‚ฌ๋ฅผ ํŽผ์น˜๊ธฐ ์œ„ํ•œ ๊ฐœ์ธ์ ์ด๊ณ  ์‹ฌ๋ฆฌ์ ์ธ ๊ณต๊ฐ„์— ๊ฐ€๊น๋‹ค. ์–ผํ• ํ’๊ฒฝ์ฒ˜๋Ÿผ ๋ณด์ด์ง€๋งŒ ๋“ค์—ฌ๋‹ค๋ณด๋ฉด ์ธ๋ฌผ๋“ค์ด ์žˆ๊ณ  ์ด์•ผ๊ธฐ๊ฐ€ ์žˆ๋‹ค. ์ธ๊ฐ„์˜ ์‚ถ๊ณผ ์ฃฝ์Œ์€ ์ž์—ฐ๊ณผ ๊ธด๋ฐ€ํ•œ ์—ฐ๊ด€์ด ์žˆ๋‹ค. ๊ทธ๊ฒƒ์€ ์ปค๋‹ค๋ž€ ์ˆœํ™˜์˜ ์ผ๋ถ€์ด๋‹ค. ๋‚˜๋Š” ์ž์—ฐ๊ณผ ๋™๋ฌผ, ์ธ๊ฐ„ ๋ชจ๋‘ ์ง€๊ตฌ์˜ ํ”ผ๋ถ€๋ผ๊ณ  ์ƒ๊ฐํ•œ๋‹ค. ์ ๊ทน์ ์ธ ํ™˜๊ฒฝ์šด๋™๊ฐ€๋Š” ์•„๋‹ˆ์ง€๋งŒ ๊ทธ๋“ค์˜ ๊ฐ€์น˜๊ด€๊ณผ ๋ฐฉํ–ฅ์„ฑ์„ ์ง€์ง€ํ•œ๋‹ค.

The forests in my works are where my stories take place. They are very private spaces, and they stay close to my mind. At glance, they look like a simple landscape but when you look closer there are characters and stories in the landscape. Life and death are all closely related to nature as we all live in the circle of life. I believe that plants, animals, and human beings all together form a skin on the earth. Although Iโ€™m not a vocal environmentalist, I value their respect for nature.

Thank you. Iโ€™m deeply touched by the natural colors that seasons and time bring to everyday life. I especially love the colors from sunrises and sunsets.

Do specific artworks have been created by random experiments in your studio or do you usually come up with a particular concept or narrative in the very beginning of your artistic process? ๋‚˜์˜ ์ž‘์—…์€ ๋Œ€๋ถ€๋ถ„ ๋“œ๋กœ์ž‰์—์„œ ์ถœ๋ฐœํ•œ๋‹ค. ์ฒ˜์Œ๋ถ€ํ„ฐ ๊ตฌ์ฒด์ ์ธ ๊ฐœ๋…์ด๋‚˜ ์ด์•ผ๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ์ƒ๊ฐํ•˜๋Š”๊ฒƒ์€ ์•„๋‹ˆ๋‹ค. ๋ฐ˜๋ณตํ•ด์„œ ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๊ฒŒ ๋˜๋Š” ํ˜•ํƒœ๋“ค๊ณผ ์ฑ„์ง‘ํ•œ ๋‹จ์–ด๋“ค์ด ์–ด๋А ์ˆœ๊ฐ„ ์ž์‹ ๋“ค์˜ ์ด์•ผ๊ธฐ๋ฅผ ๊ฐ€์งˆ ๋•Œ๊ฐ€ ์žˆ๋‹ค. ์ฃผ๋กœ ๊ทธ๊ฒƒ๋“ค์„ ์บ”๋ฒ„์Šค๋กœ ์˜ฎ๊ธด๋‹ค. ํ•˜์ง€๋งŒ ์บ”๋ฒ„์Šค์— ๊ทธ๋ฆฌ๋Š” ๊ฒƒ์€ ๋˜ ์ „ํ˜€ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ์ผ์ด๊ธฐ๋„ ํ•˜๋‹ค. ์ฒ˜์Œ์— ์ด์•ผ๊ธฐ์™€ ์ด๋ฏธ์ง€๋ฅผ ๊ตฌ์ƒํ•˜๋”๋ผ๋„ ๊ณผ์ •์—์„œ ๋Š˜ ๋ณ€์ˆ˜๋ฅผ ๋งŒ๋‚˜๊ฒŒ ๋˜๊ณ  ๊ทธ๋•Œ๋Š” ๊ณ„ํš์— ์—†๋˜ ๋Œ€์ฑ…๊ณผ ๋‹ค๋ฅธ ์‹œ๋„๋“ค์ด ํ•„์š”ํ•˜๋‹ค. ์•„์ง ๋‚˜์—๊ฒŒ๋Š” ๊ฐœ๋ณ„ ์ž‘ํ’ˆ

Most of my works start from a drawing. I donโ€™t think about a specific concept or stories from the start. There are times when the images on my drawing pad form a story together with the words in my notebook. Then I bring that story to a canvas. On canvas however, totally different stories and images are created. The initial stories and images are variable. Therefore, I must paint with new attempts and thoughts on canvas. In fact, all my works are results of new attempts.

It depends on the theme of the exhibition. One day, I hope to give a storytelling experience through an exhibition. It would also be fun to try different types of works to match my stories to a given exhibition space.

Iโ€™m a big fan of impressionist Gustave Moreau and Bertrand-Jean Redon. I also like Canadian landscape painter A.J Cason. I find American painter Lois Doddโ€™s plants and landscapes beautiful. Iโ€™m also into Miyazaki Hayaoโ€™s animations and game graphics from <Shelter>. I enjoy reading poems too. These days, Kenji Miyazawaโ€™s <Spring & Asura> is on my shelf. He is a Japanese poet and the pioneer of fantasy literature.

I have a studio 10 minutes away from my home. It is located on the second floor of a small building. The studio is surround by windows. Although it is challenging to stand the paintings, I enjoy the view of the forests outside the windows. I walk my dog in the forest every day, and the feeling I get from the weather and the earth during the walk is important to me.

Iโ€™m planning to have exhibitions in Seoul and Norwich in 2023.
For future paintings, Iโ€™m contemplating upon how to change and expand the narratives in my works. When I tell stories differently, this will show on canvas. Iโ€™m not planning to bring all the changes at once. I believe that if I diligently work every day, necessary changes will naturally follow.
