Jack O’Lantern Sleeping Rough

A ‘ghost’ – an invisible neighbor.

Repainted: Hanging On

I painted the background with watercolor and removed flaky strokes of pastel.

I’m not sure whether I should retouch gibbons. They also have pastel strokes but to me it seems less jarring than in the background. What do you think – shall I retouch the gibbons to make it look finished?

Thank you very much, everyone, for helpful advice! I think I will submit both this one and the other one. The deadline is today and the most pressing question for me is whether to retouch the gibbons. I’d appreciate your feedback!

Compare Colors: Home

In the above, I tried colors different from the previous one (below), which was more vivid. The call is for an exhibition for homeless people, and I think some gravity is due. I still don’t want to make it taken for granted by expressing gravity with sad colors, so I’m trying to find a right balance. What do you think – how would you compare this one with the previous one (below)?

Hanging On

I plan to submit it to a regional call for artworks under a theme “Home”. Please let me know if you have feedback so I can make a last minute change. I think I will make the background denser for now.

Prospect / 전망

A beloved space can show more than meets the eye.
사랑하는 공간은 보이는 것보다 더 많은 것을 보여줄 수 있다.

Mixed media, 2018

This is my first try on semi-abstract painting. It also concludes a series on my move from the US to the UK. In the series, I tried to record and reconstruct places I love as I left them:

처음으로 반추상화를 시도해 보았다. 이 그림은 미국에서 영국으로의 이사에 관한 시리즈의 마지막 그림이기도 하다. 사랑하는 공간들을 떠나면서 기록하고 재구성해본 시리즈이다:

Cocoon – moving out / 누에고치 – 이사 나오며
Parting / 떠나며
Line 1 Time Machine / 1호선 타임머신
Take Care / 안녕

The dolphin and the background appeared also on my past postings:

돌고래와 배경은 예전 꼭지에 등장한 바 있다:

Dolphin Lamp / 돌고래 램프
Low Lights… / 낮은 빛이…
Out of the Night / 밤으로부터

Bedside Recourse… / 침대맡에서 찾는…

… to silence. / … 고요.
