2018 7th Solo Invitation Exhibition

Artist Note

While preparing for the 7th Solo Exhibition...

I have tried painting countless faces that contain a spirit on canvas.

Physiognomy is not limited to the face. It comprehends the entire human body language and it expresses energy, as much as its depth.

Face, nude torso and I am presenting clothed full body paintings that I have prepared for a few years.

What is the real beauty of a woman?

From my consideration, it is their belief, their path that they walk on.

Through their own path, they have manifested their individuality. I believe that individuality has matured into active energies.

I wanted to express that energy in pure colors.

In expressing their active energy, I limited detailed depiction as it is a distraction. Instead, I tried to represent tension and rough touch by using painting knife.

These women radiate energies that are like the female warriors, which coexist between the modern day and the present moment.
I hope that my audience sees their color and energy, and comprehend them using sympathy as its gate.

Through sensing their energies, that you will find your self and self-esteem if you have lost them.

I appreciate the female warriors who are intoxicated with their lives, and my relationship with them, and to modern female warriors who modeled for me.
