An So HYUN, LEE JIEUN, QWAYA, HWANG DO YOU


An Sohyun builds up oil paintings one by one to capture light in her work. The atmosphere of the painting is overwhelmed by the effort to capture the light itself, rather than painting the light. While her work presents rest and comfort, her creation begins with energy from her own anxiety. Through works that encompass the unrealistic world in the imagination and the spaces of daily life, she wants to portray the warm comfort and happiness she dreams of.


Lee Jieun is drawing attention to everything surrounding things and space. By putting reality and Ideas into one space, she is making a new place that contains the aspirations of utopia. The spaces of the work are real places, but also a new world overlaid with the her artistic touch. These works began imagining Christmas in the summer, and new landscapes and characters encountered while wandering in a familiar yet unfamiliar space appear. She is showing new world through color, space and objects which is not really existed.


Meanwhile, Qwaya records the memories that come to mind every night. Records are reproduced in paintings and show us his daily life. While depicting daily life that can be recalled just by looking at the title, such as a person drinking wine and tea against the background of a snowman by the window, and a lover in front of a tree, we are attracted with his unique color and brush strokes. Also, just as invisible language fills the space, the subtle emotions of the characters in the work fill the screen with the strokes. It will be an interesting to imagine the hidden inner side of the artist while viewing the works. I hope it will be a time to enjoy his work and reflect on the preciousness of everyday life.


ALICE, who appeared on the screen filled with Hwang Doyou, which appeared in a mysterious world. The place where Alice's gaze stays is hidden outside the screen, stimulating the viewer's imagination, so we expand Alice's world to the outside by filling the space outside the canvas with imagination. This series focuses on the characteristics of acrylic and emphasizes the pure beauty of painting thinner without layering. He values the way of expression and is thinking about and trying new expression techniques. Through these attempts, the artist will fulfill his aspirations for future work.
