Go Together Painting

This painting is designed to make two groups face each other, and to connect the two groups. It shows confrontation and harmony at the same time. It is not limited to an era. I wanted to talk about the nature of relationships.

I was inspired by human relationships and realized ideas in pictures.

I understand situations in which individuals and individuals, groups and groups, countries and countries are at odds and conflicts.

I think it is natural that many people are hurt by confrontation and conflict and are desperate to protect each other's interests. It causes hatred and fear.

But we are connected to each other. The connection is fate. So we confront and collide, but we move in the same direction. When we overcome confrontation and conflict and go in the same direction, we laugh with confidence.

I wanted to express my ideas in a creative way when I realized them in pictures. When expressed in a creative way, my message is delivered well, and it gives me satisfaction. So I did my best to make a creative design.

For the time being, I intend to keep this original work. However, I will find a way to use the design image for the product.

When I paint, I intuitively choose color, and I think that everything in the universe, and every color has its own unique energy.Black was used to show the deep unconscious inside by absorbing everything, the state of worry and fear felt in confrontation with the other person, and to represent a static and very strong force. Blue is the color chosen to represent hope and recovery, and free thinking and infinity.I would like to show a contrast between the two groups in Go Together, using black and blue on one side and various colors on the other.These are colors that I chose intuitively to show concisely and clearly the theme of the work that overcomes and moves on by connecting with each other, although it suffers confrontation and conflict.

My emphasis on the anatomical elements of hand and foot in this work is a symbol of different paths and directions.The hand symbolizes 'touch.' It contains contact with others, and a willingness to connect. This assignment of several hands and feet to the living things in the painting is the possibility that an individual can have multiple perspectives and directions.In particular, two opposing groups are pointing in different directions within the structures facing each other, but in the end, it means one essential relationship. This is also true in human society. We are oriented in different directions, but on a deep level, we are interconnected. This is the essential reason why I used these elements.

My three-dimensional bending technique is the result of progressive development in the process of repeated experiments, observations, and failures. It started from simply wanting to break away from being two-dimensional. I explored new forms by handling paints and acrylic additives with my own hands. I focused on creating a three-dimensional shape by carefully observing and controlling the material itself. Building a frame and creating a certain shape were time-consuming and energy-consuming tasks.
