EOM Yujeong

Due to the difference in perception, ordinary landscapes are transformed into new forms at any time. EOM Yujeong's (b. 1985) painting takes place in flexible time. She observes the appearance of a subject witnessed differently depending on the perspective for a long time, then transfers it to painting. It is an effort to discover the formative possibilities of the subject from various angles. Glacier (2017-23) is a series of paintings drawn from the appearance of glaciers seen in Iceland. It aims to capture the fluidity of a slowly disappearing subject at the boundary between sea and land in the painting. The glacier's facets hold the long gaze with a volume that seems to melt but does not, a color that seems transparent but opaque, and each form that seems similar but different.
