Fantasma
Fantasma began as a way of holding onto fleeting images and ideas that appeared while I was working on larger paintings. Painted on small canvases, these fragments accumulate over time and are gathered, rearranged, and combined into changing constellations.
Fantasma는 큰 그림을 그리는 과정에서 순간적으로 떠오르는 이미지와 생각을 놓치지 않기 위해 작은 캔버스에 기록하면서 시작되었다. 이렇게 축적된 조각들은 더해지고 빠지고 재배열되며 계속 다른 모습의 집합을 만들어간다.
Fantasma Series 2017-present Although my paintings are generally in large scale (over 65×100 inches), in the process of working on a painting toward completion, other ideas disrupt and enter my mind. When this happens, in order to capture and retain the original associations, I record the disrupting images in smaller canvases. In this work, the accumulated smaller canvases were gathered together and arranged to form a larger work. I take pleasure in adding, subtracting and rearranging canvases into new associations. I call this work “Fantasma,” after their ghost-like appearing and changing.
