Hommage a SooKuen. On show a series of paintings with a mixture of leather, paint, sand, shells and green tea. Countless dots represent time and tangled lines like a ball of thread complete a surface. Billions of stars in the great universe are expressed by the installation on the wall as if we were able travel between them in a space shuttle.
In her Solo show, Chun’s
series of paintings will be on view at Chelsea West Gallery
'For my work, I work with a mixture of leather, paint, sand, shells
and green tea. Similar to when I worked on the Cho Sun Women Series
where I used the style of photo-etching on leather, I felt that the
maternal love from the women was as soft as the buttery, where the
unique personalities and perspectives of these women were shown. The
circle has no end and no beginning.
The circle in essence keeps
rotating endlessly and is eternal. In the past paper was only used as
canvas, and is still used ever since the beginning of human history up
until the digital era of today. However, nowadays, among so many
mediums, leather is used as well as paper as canvas. Countless dots
represent time and tangled lines like a ball of thread complete a
surface.
The heart of the microcosm within our body, which cannot be touched or
seen, was painted with abstract colors. Those billions of stars in
the great universe are expressed by the installation on the wall as if
we were able travel between them in a space shuttle. ' (S. Chun)
