For the exhibition, I needed to decide which work I am going to exhibit. I was planning to exhibit development new work of '8 Painting' series in the first thought, but I changed my mind to make new work about same interest. '8 Painting' series is one of my experiment on boundary of art especially painting. The works were based on one simple illustration(Picture above), and I attached that canvas illustration on real canvas to think about what painting and images are.
As similar experiment of 8 Painting series, I just made these works. I call these works 'Photopainting'. The title of this work series 'Photopainting' sounds medium of these works are painting, but these works are technically photo, because I actually take photos and use Photoshop to make them look like oil painting. Actual painting is usually painted by brush and colour paints such as water colour and oil colour. So everyone easily can be sure about Photopainting works are exactly not painting. However, it would be different when I am saying 'I paint these images by taking a picture.'. This could be just trick on people into thinking it is oil painting, but I just want to think together about how images work on us. Anyway for complete this trick and experiment, I am going to print these photos on real canvas and another materials for the exhibition.
