Qwaya usually visualize artworks like writing everyday diary. Fragmented information recorded in inner side, it is recovered the objectivity through representative images captured by intuition, and it is also presented as new form of images. This exhibition shows various stories with lively embracing attitudes that artist felt and accepted from his surroundings, human and objects, so it concerns more about artist\u2019s secretive and embodied thoughts beyond the record of moment. This topic is perhaps our appearance about the utopia, that our small and big relationships in our daily life with Covid pandemic situation.<\/p>\n<p>As Qwaya\u2019s works captured our daily life, audience can know the contents intuitively through the special situation, human figure, still life elements. What Qwaya\u2019s artworks make more interesting is, our daily appearance which can be boring but it comes new and unfamiliar scene. His works are familiar at first glance, but if you observe closely, the composition of the space, the person\u2019s gaze, the direction of the body, and the color scheme create a very unrealistic and dreamy atmosphere apart from the realistic subject matter of everyday.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9083\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9083\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-9083\" src=\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2021\/12\/19002613\/5.-%EB%B3%B4%EB%82%B4%EC%A7%80-%EB%AA%BB%ED%95%9C-%ED%8E%B8%EC%A7%80-A-letter-that-he-couldnt-send-2021-Oil-on-canvas-73-x-60.5cm-c2GIL29-GALLERY-3-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2021\/12\/19002613\/5.-%EB%B3%B4%EB%82%B4%EC%A7%80-%EB%AA%BB%ED%95%9C-%ED%8E%B8%EC%A7%80-A-letter-that-he-couldnt-send-2021-Oil-on-canvas-73-x-60.5cm-c2GIL29-GALLERY-3-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2021\/12\/19002613\/5.-%EB%B3%B4%EB%82%B4%EC%A7%80-%EB%AA%BB%ED%95%9C-%ED%8E%B8%EC%A7%80-A-letter-that-he-couldnt-send-2021-Oil-on-canvas-73-x-60.5cm-c2GIL29-GALLERY-3-300x250.jpg 300w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2021\/12\/19002613\/5.-%EB%B3%B4%EB%82%B4%EC%A7%80-%EB%AA%BB%ED%95%9C-%ED%8E%B8%EC%A7%80-A-letter-that-he-couldnt-send-2021-Oil-on-canvas-73-x-60.5cm-c2GIL29-GALLERY-3-1024x854.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2021\/12\/19002613\/5.-%EB%B3%B4%EB%82%B4%EC%A7%80-%EB%AA%BB%ED%95%9C-%ED%8E%B8%EC%A7%80-A-letter-that-he-couldnt-send-2021-Oil-on-canvas-73-x-60.5cm-c2GIL29-GALLERY-3-150x125.jpg 150w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2021\/12\/19002613\/5.-%EB%B3%B4%EB%82%B4%EC%A7%80-%EB%AA%BB%ED%95%9C-%ED%8E%B8%EC%A7%80-A-letter-that-he-couldnt-send-2021-Oil-on-canvas-73-x-60.5cm-c2GIL29-GALLERY-3-768x641.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2021\/12\/19002613\/5.-%EB%B3%B4%EB%82%B4%EC%A7%80-%EB%AA%BB%ED%95%9C-%ED%8E%B8%EC%A7%80-A-letter-that-he-couldnt-send-2021-Oil-on-canvas-73-x-60.5cm-c2GIL29-GALLERY-3-1536x1281.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/static-edge.kiaf.org\/web\/2021\/12\/19002613\/5.-%EB%B3%B4%EB%82%B4%EC%A7%80-%EB%AA%BB%ED%95%9C-%ED%8E%B8%EC%A7%80-A-letter-that-he-couldnt-send-2021-Oil-on-canvas-73-x-60.5cm-c2GIL29-GALLERY-3-2048x1708.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9083\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A letter that he couldn&#8217;t send 2021 Oil on canvas 73 x 60.5cm (c)2GIL29 GALLERY<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In particular, the character in the artwork attract the viewer\u2019s attention, but he or she actually closed their eyes and not gaze the audience.
