Canna 500-500-1-4

This work is part of a series of paintings drawn through the process of taking photographs of flowers and plants found in everyday life and then decomposing and reconstructing those images on a computer. A picture of a canna flower is used here.

It is a common motif called “flower” and “plant” that has been drawn for a long time regardless of east or west, and I am trying to express new possibilities by reconstructing the various forms and colors contained therein.

First, by decomposing a photograph into a flat color surface, the elements that formed the original image lose their role as structures and change to parallel entities.

By continuing tasks such as erasing and connecting the shapes that emerged there through trial and error, I feel that what is vague within me gradually solidifies.

Using the image created in this way as a sketch, I will paint on the canvas while adding slight arrangements.

I think the finished work can be viewed in various ways while retaining the original botanical atmosphere.
