Jeehoon Stark

About

Jihoon Stark's work blends the psychological emotions reliant on a child's pure gaze with the physical interpretations of his time as a strict architect, manifesting in metaphorical yet tangible spaces. By examining the structures imbued with dual perspectives, one can indirectly feel the everyday spaces the artist has experienced through multilayered colors and handwritten explanations. The themes, too, such as civilization and nature, East and West, past and present, micro and macro, are depicted on the canvas as binary opposites mingling together in a vacuum-like state. Stark varies his structural drawings into paintings, reinterprets discarded architectural materials into reliefs, and transforms architectural models into ceramic works, believing that such diverse media traversals allow for vigilance against habitual traces, thereby expressing the purity of painting. Consequently, all elements constituting his canvas create a synesthetic virtual world through organic relationships.
