BAE Mi Jung

People, flowers and the sky make us comfortable in BAE Mi Jung’s paintings but at the same time, the paintings have a power to let us imagine the invisible. The harmony of lines and colors that naturally reveal the charm of paintings describes characters, and the space where animals and plants are observed is surreal. A person who is ordinary and can pass by, grass on the side of the road, and a cool breeze also come to the artist especially. It has a literary narrative in which a story comes to mind with a condensed expression and not a single figure comes out from nowhere.

Taking advantage of the characteristics of the landscape containing the narrative, the screen has the experiences and memories of the artist’s life in one place. The scenes with emotions connect various things of the world. It is to confirm the boundaries of what happened during life with people and happening in the future. It expresses the unexplained emotions and memories brought by reality in the paintings. A curved shape reminiscent of a place leads to nature and objects within the category of circulation.

The artist’s efforts to see the world as it is at the boundary between life and death are revealed. Even if the reality is tough, the wish for well-being and happiness in the painting has led to a series of and her own daily life is naturally revealed as part of the work. In , the metaphor expressed through the hat that seems to prevent hardships in life was that there were women other than me, and the memories of being wise are collected and piled up in the hat. is reminiscent of calmly raising a child and living. Golden colors come out around the breastfeeding mother, and dark blue surrounds vines and rises to the sky.

The subtle colors that are gently revealed in the light in the work. It hides depression, is not completely happy, and a silence that is not exposed is buried in the color of the landscape. Beautiful but coldly rational and confidently expressed emotions are poetic. Drawing is to discover a truth beyond appearance. The artist’s ‘Women I Know’ which can be seen as portraits, are beings living in the flow of the world. They let us remember that we live at the same time in the setting of a relationship even though we don’t know each other, and express it on the canvas.
