Yunzo Paek

In Paek Yunjo's work, which visualizes the senses, perceptions, and images experienced in life with a writer's imagination, both elements of concept and abstraction can be found. The Walk series and Face series are representative conceptual works of the author, and they focus on the movement of the character, or the behavior of the body. First, the Walk series is based on the author's autobiographical experience, and it is a painting that sensibly expresses the person walking forward. Through the Walk series, the artist wants to convey the physical and physical freedom resulting from 'walking' to the viewers. In this exhibition's Walk series, you can see more free conversation-style attempts, such as highlighting the textures in the background or scattering paint. On the other hand, the Face series captures images of people facing unexpected situations and consists of consecutive screens. In particular, the character's action has changed more actively in this series. The way you shake your head strongly or move your head from side to side reminds you of a still cut of a pleasant animation. The comic situation, the kitschy expression, and the loveliness of the object created by the author cause the viewer to feel the raw pleasure. As such, you can see the joy at the base of his projection of the character's movements and situations.

On the other hand, if the previous figure conceptualization paid attention to the object's behavior, the Doodle series focuses on the creator's behavior. This series began with the doodling of an unconsciously scribbling author. The simple image, starting from a short line, goes down and up, and in this process, the artist strikes an exquisite balance, like a weight on a scale. These Doodle series are located on the border between the idea and the abstract. This is because if you look at the materials in the painting individually, it is conceptual, but the screen that is connected and completed is abstract because the shape expression such as the line or surface of the object stands out rather than the clarity of the object. In this way, Paek Yunjo's anti-abstracting reveals the harmony and conflict between the context of the original image and the newly created image. In addition, in the Happy Face and House series, which was first introduced in "TOAND FROM", new icons appeared, such as repetitive images of smiling faces or connecting common objects at home to fill the screen. These new Doodle works are like a small gift from a writer who comforts us living in the post-corona era.

“I want to talk to the world about the special energy I get from something in my daily life. And through that communication, I gain strength and take a step forward again," the artist said calmly, making us guess that she seems to focus on angles rather than speed. The characters in the Walk series don't know where they're headed yet, but they're stepping on their own path, and like the Doodle series, which continues to expand branches, she slowly builds the world of work through everyday conversational practice. In her third solo exhibition, "TO AND FROM", we hope you will see Paek Yunjo's expanded world, covering the beginning and transformation of her work.
