Oblivion

solo exhibition

16 Aug 2024 - 30 Aug 2024

Statement

Memories are records of events and occurrences engraved on the tablet of the mind. Some of them are inscribed on walls to remind the public for a short or long time. Therefore, walls are unstabletablets for the preservation of collective memory. Thus, walls arecollective memories, available to the public outside the official domain.

My paintings embody walls that wander between reality and imagination. The colors, symbols, and phrases that were once the memory of the city have decayed, distorted, and crumpled over time. They still bear the traces of people and the signs of time, as if they once carried a message but have either lost their meaning or evoke a new one. Some of them represent the victory of time, the death of the wall, and at the same time the persistence of signs that have faded and are open to interpretation.

Crumpling and distortion in my works are behaviors to show the element of time, the death of the surface and the destruction of the wall. They show the relationship of time to the surface and the change in meaning and narrative associated with it. The surfaces and symbols in this collection of works are an example of the confrontation of walls with time, whose ultimate fate is "oblivion".
