No Eun-hee
The artist consistently draws the appearance of light that he wants to express using other typical materials and vitality as a background.
Materials such as the dark night (space), the moon and stars, and the moon jar, which are expressed in the work, pass through the artist's recent memories and create another story in that space.
For the background (dark part), I drew thin ink lines with one stroke with a fine brush, and the ink was clear, but it became heavy black and dark, expressing a dark night. The moon, moon jar, stars, flowers, and bamboo that appear in this background are bodies that revive the multi-layered light that the artist wants to bring out. The darker it is, the more continuous and extended the light is, and the subtly stopped means that objects such as light and shade of ink, mother-of-pearl and gold leaf cannot capture the light contained in them sharply. This light is a hope and a metaphor for that hope that enables people in our world to live and survive.
For example, the moon jar, which means to contain blessings, and the light of gold and silver leaf, which do the opposite, give warm comfort to all of us. The crushed mother-of-pearl contains a desire to find your own little light of hope in a dark world..
나의 작업 전체를 아우르는 가장 큰 주제는 빛이다. 수많은 종류의 빛이 존재하고 그 의미를 지니고 있다. 그 중에서 칠흑같이 어두운 밤하늘
그 무엇도 있을 것 같지 않은 어둠 속에서 존재하고 있는 빛들을 표현하고자 한다. 어두울수록 작은 빛이 지닌 의미는 크다.
사람에 있어… 작은 빛…
아주 작은 빛만이라도 있다면…
살아갈 수… 살아낼 수 있음을 알기에…
나의 작업을 보는 이들이 자신만의 작은 빛을 발견하고, 그 속에서 스스로를 위로하고 위안받기를 바란다. - 작가노트
