For Uni-free
Artist Uni-free's works are light and airy, like a beautiful feather.
She is good at using simple lines to outline the unrestrained growth of plants. Because of the simplicity of the lines, what the lines summarize are the hardest and most substantial parts of plants, and they show a tenacious life. She likes to draw on Korean paper, a material with a long history, using natural tree bark as a crafting material, soft but tough, rustic but thick. She often compares painting to looking at herself in a mirror, which is not difficult to understand because her works are almost all circular. Of course, I think this is a metaphor for a mirror and her cosmic concept of round sky and place. The circle also means a kind of harmony, fulfillment, and hope.
Uni-free's meticulous observation of plant parts, the selection of painting materials, and the use of simple line drawing methods are all pursuits of returning to pure nature and time，just like a light feather floating freely in the long sky of history.
For Jeon Juhee
Nature is the motif of Jeon Juhee's artistic creation. Living in a modern city, she has always longed for and is nostalgic for nature, and inevitably reflects on the current living conditions of herself and others. In my opinion, the artist's nostalgia for nature seems to be sustenance and an escape. Through art, she escapes into the "nature" she imagines. That "nature" is purely the world she created, where there is meaning, form, and a set of her ideal narrative logic.
Jeon Juhee's paintings are derived from experience but beyond experience. Therefore, we are familiar with the picture; it seems unreasonable to some extent. She delicately outlines the shape of each leaf and uses as many colors as possible to present the true nature. However, the symmetrical shapes and abstracted shadows contrast with the realistic paintings. Plants that seem to grow according to a particular fixed shape and shadows that flow according to fixed colors and shapes are those that seem unreasonable, and it is precisely where the artist's imagination and expressiveness reside, and the artist's self that paints projection in.
For Song Yeonjoo
Artist Song Yeonjoo was born and raised in Gyeongsang-nam do, a coastal city in South Korea. The colors, smells, sounds, and even emotions of the sea were all part of her life and her earliest memory of nature.
The deeper part of the sea is the mystery she has longed for since she was a child. Years ago, she found a way to communicate with the sea - diving. It seemed to flip a particular switch in her body, triggering her more sensitive tentacles. As she described, in the ocean, she often recalled the feeling of being wrapped in amniotic fluid in her mother's womb. Diving into the sea is like giving herself back to nature, back to where she came from.
When completely encased in seawater, the sea's temperature, light and shade, and power are omnipresent in her senses. This personal experience is real and profound, full of mystery, uncertainty, and hard-to-speak qualities.Every creation, for Song, is a complete mobilization of all the sensory memories of the body.
Every painting tells us that when all of herself is covered by seawater and has become part of the sea, the artist can let go of all distracting thoughts, focus on herself wholeheartedly, and feel her existence with all her senses.
