I
chose to study Visual Arts in order to explore myself and my own personal context
on a deeper level. My great love is cars. I researched car art and from there
looked at various car art practitioners. A strong sense of simplified design began
to manifest the more I investigated art and artists I found inspiring. Emma
Hacks’ simple formulaic abstractions were my first glimpse of abstraction and
pushing boundaries out from the norm. A sense of aesthetics and the manipulation
of compositional devices began to take over any work I began until I was able,
through experimentation, to push a composition through to an abstraction of just
color and shape. This I find inspiring and liberating as I have led a rather
rigid traditional Korean life. Stepping outside of who I normally am, I then began
notice and to think differently about small things, and photographed struggling
life at my Fathers’ factory and the life of trees. I first began my studio work
with drawings of neglected and struggling botanical life at the factory, and
then to experiment with color, after realizing that I can control my own
interpretations of an artwork. I have worked in a number of media including,
pencil, acrylic, poster color and oils. I have also used texture and very thick
paint, spreading it onto the canvas almost like cake icing. I find the process
of creating artworks very satisfying. My greatest influences have been Emma
Hack, Indonesian artist Yudi Yudoyoko, and Claude Monet for his colors and use
of thick paint.
I
have developed confidence in the way I see and interpret my world. I know I can
step outside “normal” and be successful in anything I try using by employing
basic elements and principles of design and daring to think differently whilst
pushing new ideas through.
