FLOATING PIECES

About
Kang Mok
It looks like last night's dream was listed on the screen. The strange face that came into my eyes while swimming in the sea, The masked men chatted in a language that could not understand the terrifying words, the barking of the dog was like a radio broadcast. The artist expresses in such a pleasant way that consciousness and unconsciousness affect each other. Without thinking about what to draw on the screen, the expression of his mind is expressed with spontaneous energy. The character series, which seems to have been seen in an animated film, creates joy by expressing the sensitivity of the current generation influenced by Western culture with his own stroke with a dreamy vibe. He also mixes colors with a sense of an unplanned moment to fill every corner of the screen deeply or shallowly, so he expects viewers to find themselves in different parts.

There is an artist who wants to figure out how to do better at what he can do easily rather than try to do other things. His work occupies the screen with red, yellow, and blue, which is imprinted on the viewer with a rhythmical image. Especially, the composition series of red, yellow and variations in this exhibition is interestingly related with the layout of the Dutch abstract artist Piet Mondrian. Red and Yellow divided the screen, and Black is division of screen in the form of numbers, text, bar code, or smile. The fact that the work reminded us the price tag of a super market is also a part of the artist's attitude that "at least don't suffer from what you like."

The candy on the wall of the exhibition hall has the word Supreme written on it. Actually, they also are written as AWESOME, and HAPPY PUPPY. The meaning of the work is that each candy's text and color doesn't mean anything. She is warning that even if an individual chooses one of these candies, it is because the external media persuaded him to choose so. This is in the same context as engraving a shiny diamond-studded blue skeleton in a heart sculpture or painting a pastel-toned pointed high heel full of FABULOUS. She warns of the occupation of digital media with these sweet-colored sculptures, so we would better take a breath before choosing your next candy.

He does not want to say something by putting profound subject in art. He fills the screen with the shape he likes, just as the lines are drawn, as the colors are chosen. Therefore, it is not clear to figure out what it is. You can just follow what you see in this work. The graffiti looks like it’s on a street has been moved to the canvas, the black squares filled up here and there like a pixel as if it’s buffering, and small strokes smeared like a stain. There are various ways to present because he studied in design and computer art fields. Moreover, he was worried that the title might interfere with the viewer's interpretation, so he named every works as same as Jeju-do. The titles are Jeju-do, which shows that he worked on Jeju-do this year.
