| Resumen: | I paint invisible aspects of life. These aspects are manifested in my paintings as opposing elements. This approach reflects my effort to maintain a certain distance from the heaviness and seriousness of life while seeking balance. My study examines why these contrasting elements—anxiety and humor, conflict and absurdity, seriousness and playfulness—coexist in my work and how they are transformed into a visual language. I also investigate how attitudes toward life are represented in Bong Joon-ho’s film The Host, Haruki Murakami’s novel Kafka on the Shore, and interviews about the works of Eva Hesse and Richard Tuttle, using these insights to inform my creative process. The coexistence of opposing elements aligns with the Korean concept of haehak (해학), which embraces the weight of life through the inverting of images and humor. To this end, I articulate the processes behind the use of color, form, and composition in my works and analyze their roles. |
