2016 Hidden Passage

Groping for Hidden Passage’ ● The main point of my art work is how to visualize the reciprocal action toward ultimate spiritual life based on faith, which is embodied by my art integrated into natural science and humanities. The first view point of work was to suspect contemporary phenomena of civilization with high technological simulation which has confused the people between reality and virtual reality. Therefore, I have inquired into the hidden truth of the matter, and in my art I have groped the relationships between natural phenomena and human condition.

Recently I realized particle movement in quantum physics is related to human consciousness through ‘the observer effect’ and ‘String theory’. My work is inspired by both of them and pursues the substantiality of transcending time and space through hidden passage. I am interested in the dynamic space interacting between matter and spirit, human and nature, life and God. Therefore, I have applied clothing form that implies the culture of human life, as a passage between an invisible intangible met­aphoric world and visible organic tangible world.

This passage is embodied in the winding organic image, a mingling of viscera and particulate matter. Through the movement of delicate lines and circulation of incessant waves, I would like to express multidimensional space with mixed images such as biological forms, physicochemical oscillating particles. These days I enjoy applying colorful space to previous image, which represent the harmonious multidimensional world.

These intangible and tangible images are derived from scientific study and religious imagination. I contrast the smallest of particles with the vastness of the universe, because I grope for connecting hidden passage between the interior and exterior realms. It is the tension in this interactive living space, in combination with curiosity, which provides me spiritual stimulation. ■ Jeon, Seong Kyoo
