My art is intimacy. I try to make art with warm heart.
Being young, I thought the painting that looked realistic was good art. I started painting when I was in high school in Korea with watercolor, which helped me to discover a new passion for expressing emotion in art. I was trained to make realistic pictures and was applauded for my attention to detail.
I came to the U.S. for college. Not like Korea, the art classes here were more focused on feeling and emotion. I made myself loose from making realistic painting. I found that No matter what mood I was in while painting, subconsciously I would produce bright and beautiful arts. I tried transcending from reality to pure feelings, leaving the copy machine mentality behind and grasping the human spirit.
I want to produce the art that makes people feel warm.
I want to produce the art that carries intimacy.
My hunger has taken me to try out diverse art techniques such as painting, drawing, ceramic, sculpture, etching, collage, illustration, body works...
I see media as a platform that can be open to everyone. I want to use media as my new medium for art and especially to learn working on web production.
I believe my own art world will continue to expand with the new medium.
Great opener!
ReplyDeleteI also tend to go towards bright colors, neon is my favorite! It's good that you can adapt to any medium, very useful in today's society.
Wish you had submitted some of your work though, it would be cool to see!
Hello Milip,
ReplyDeleteMy father is from China and is an art enthusiast. I can confirm that the style of art is very different than that of our modern american culture we live in now. Im glad to see that the way you produce your works have changed, in my opinion, for the better. I have also took many drawing classes when i was young. When i make something now, theres just so much more to in when you put your heart in it.
Hope i get you see some of your work.
Ray.
I really like the opening and closing lines of this artist statement. I especially appreciate the idea of adding intimacy to your art.
ReplyDeleteI'm curious to see your work before and after your moving to the United States. It would be interesting to compare and contrast the two styles you speak of.
