Young Ah Ahn

I focus on the boundaries of places, things, situations, etc. The border of images is not only the end of the painting but also the starting area to extend into space. I would like to put on canvas - a room between a symbol and things that are not symbols, a relation between things that are drawn and omitted, or a contradiction of time that had already passed by and a future that will not come forever. There are crowds who are heading somewhere - inside or outside. Though Images in colorful landscape paintings were not associated with each other in time and space, they create one together. Each image that is randomly chosen, deleted, left out, and rearranged contributes to creating a completely different landscape on canvas. I want the images to get purity in my canvas regardless of their memories of space, history of time, and previous ideas. Moreover, I want them to induce the sense and emotion of the beholders beyond their own concepts or meanings. The unfamiliar landscape creates a new space, relationship, and contradiction as well as a new idea of commonness. I hope we can meet there.
