Geometric Beauty, Hangeul

행사 소개

Artist Statement My line work started from the geometric and abstract patterns which are inspired from the lines of Korean alphabet, ‘Han-gul’ at first. Because of Han-gul’s geometric and modern patterns with vertical lines, horizontal lines, squares, triangles, and circles, it has strong potential as a design instrument. During last several years, my two-dimensional works have developed to the installation work in the wide space and architecture in scale. In the spaces that gave great inspiration to me, I represented the inspiration as an abstract pattern. My interest in the pattern was moved deeper into the interest in the line, further I focused on the ‘point’ comprising the line. As a result, I attempted to create the work starting from the points. While working with space, I began to use the lines as a way to decompose the space. Recently, I am especially focusing on creating negative volume by using the achromatic lines, representing the space by division and proportion, and making the shape and contour. The strings give a sense of volume, movement, gravity and density to the image. I am curious to imagine the abstract form in the empty space and actually do it in the space. They create numerous faces and optical illusion. I am trying to make a live op-art installation in the space with strings and build my imagination in the space. I want to be an artist capable of presenting my own interpretation and methodology rather than a universal approach with the possibility of Han-gul as a visual art material, along with language semiotic study of Han-gul. Furthermore I would like to contribute to that Han-gul takes place as a cultural and artistic content to represent our country. In addition, as an installation artist breathing with spaces, through continuous research and effort on string works, I would like to reinforce my art world and plan a variety of public art projects that can communicate with the community.
