Work Details
“Gaze”
This work “Gaze” deals with the uncertainty of the very act of “seeing/being seen.”
Normally, gaze is a strong function for establishing relationships with others. However, this portrait has lost the eye, which is supposed to be the most important organ. Due to lack of line of sight, viewers lose sight of the connection point with the statue, and as a result, paradoxically, only the act of “seeing” is strongly aware.
The face does not have a clear personality, and it is vaguely disfigured like a photograph worn out in memory.
The surface formed by coating and wiping can be seen as a state before existence has settled, or traces that have already begun to disappear. There, people do not exist as completed subjects, but they emerge as unstable images that continue to fluctuate in perception.
The title “Gaze” is not simply a “gaze,” but rather a question about the very act of trying to understand others through sight.
This face, which has no eyes, can't see here. Nevertheless, viewers receive a “feeling of being looked back at” from this statue.
Amidst this contradiction, portraits move away from individual faces and transform into mirrors reflecting the viewer's own memories, fears, and afterimages.
“Gaze” is a work depicting faces, and at the same time, it is an imperfect device surrounding “what is gaze?”

Artist
oil painter
A contemporary oil painter known for his unique style that makes you feel “vibrations” on the screen. The work gives viewers an experience where real and virtual images intersect, and the boundary between reality and fantasy fluctuates. It mainly creates portraits, and expresses the uncertainty of the subject's inner world and existence itself with a delicate and bold touch.
While capturing a moment's truth through the person's poses and facial expressions, it also suggests that it is a product of illusion or memory. Geometric fluctuations and abstract elements are often added to the background and composition, creating a vibrating rhythm throughout the work.
