Ha Ji
Artist Ha Ji-won, whose working name is 'Haji', graduated from the Department of Western Studies at Yeungnam University, and has been actively holding solo and group exhibitions, including installation art and flat-panel work.
The artist's work attempts to connect the conflicting meanings of the causal relationship of successive actions into one through the technique of attaching and detaching. Countless paint layers piled up by repeating these conflicting actions create an irregular surface. The reason for this way of working is the process of trying to discover the ideal that might exist in it through the expansion of inne
r thoughts or psychological considerations.

Stick it on, Pulling off
So far, the work that has been steadily arried out has been dismantling, carving, and recombining works on the flat surface, installing them in a three-dimensional space or converting them into three-dimensional works. Installation, three-dimensional works were ne-time exhibitions that were installed on site and disappeared after the exhibition. The 'WORK' series is a work that builds up traces of time and emotions by repeatedly dismantling and combining on a plane.
Consecutive combinations and disintegration
The work process and results of art are mixed with various emotions such as expectation, disappointment, and emptiness.
It goes through countless trials and errors before it is visually expressed.
The process of dismantling the work is the result of unresolved internal conflicts, and at the same time, It contains expectations that other possibilities can be discovered.
The act of recombining the dismantled pieces and reinstalling them into space and stage means communication with the outside. These work patterns are the same as the process of discovering abnormalities in life.
Working is the process of constantly building your own world based on the artist's desire to share his or her worldview with others
-Artist's Note
영남대 서양학과를 졸업하고 설치미술과 평면작업을 같이 하는 활동명은 하지, 하지원 작가이다. 개인전 및 단체전을 활발히 이어오고 있으며, 대구문화예술회관의 2022 올해 청년작가로 선정되며 작가로서 입지를 다지고 있다.
작가의 작품 속 붙이고 떼어내는 기법을 통해 연속적인 행위의 인과관계의 상반된 의미를 하나로 이어주고자 한다. 이 상반된 행위를 반복하여 쌓인 무수한 물감층은 불규칙한 표면을 만들어 낸다. 이러한 작업방식의 이유는 내적 사유 또는 심리적 고찰의 확대를 통해 그 속에서 어쩌면 존재할지도 모르는 이상을 발견하고자 하는 과정이다.
