Description of the work
- Media Oil and acrylic on canvas
- Location L7 HAEUNDAE 3F
The artist's series of “windows” is a work that arranges four or more spaces, trying not to falsifying truth, consisting of “confronted windows" located on both sides of the work and a background and foreground placed in the center in one picture.
The left window is rushing waves that seems to go back to the primitive time, and the center is Wolryubong in winter, which contains an oriental landscape of reality, and the window on the right is placed as an abstract landscape that does not exist. Finally, the entire lower part of the screen is images that contain the artist's efforts to integrate these spaces by tying them together with light and shadow.
Through another abstract window pattern that covers the entire picture, the artist tries to integrate the work and the space outside the work.
