Artist Statement

My work aims to transform salvation into art and discuss its methods and effects. My theme is to provide people with a sense of comfort and tranquility and assist in their salvation. I have developed a unique artistic approach to this theme. Method: It is developed through a combination of action painting and sparse painting. Action painting is characterized by impulsive brushwork, while sparse painting features sparse and diluted expressions. By combining these techniques, I intend to bring a sense of peace and tranquility to the viewer. This sense of comfort and tranquility is expressed by applying elements of “wabi-sabi,” which I have derived from the Japanese tea ceremony culture.

 

By incorporating the concept of minimalism and creating gaps and spaces in strong emotional expressions, I express the salvation of comfort and tranquility. This technique is an evolved version of sparse painting, which can be considered as one of the traditions leading from modern painting to abstract painting, known as “de-skilling.” Effect: In my work, I receive and address the concerns, anxieties, and sufferings of people in contemporary society, providing them with salvation through words. By incorporating elements of action painting and presenting concerns, anxieties, and sufferings on the canvas as strong and forceful emotional expressions, intentionally constructing gaps and margins with elements of sparse painting, I create an effect that conveys a sense of comfort and tranquility from that space.

Art Concept

Concept of the artwork: I work as both a painter and a fortune teller. Through my work in fortune telling, I have expressed the “salvation” provided through words to those who are contemplating suicide or struggling with the anxieties, fears, and pains of modern society, as well as the concerns of the LGBT community, through art.
