After majoring in animation, I embarked on a new artistic journey, combining moving image with painting, while starting my exploration in the realm of visual arts. My first solo exhibition, titled "< Pandemonium, Circumference >", was an experimentation with drawings that could be realized within the slippery surface of a monitor, forming the foundation for animated paintings. The inspiration for these works was drawn from my surroundings near the local train station. The exhibition capitalized on the concept of juxtaposing the act of drawing with the movement achievable within the confines of a monitor.

"마계魔界(Pandemonium)" is a term I've coined as the opposite of "삼매三昧(Samadhi)” and it's used to convey expressions such as restlessness over concentration, reality over idealism, and motion over stasis.

Subsequently, after numerous experiments with various artistic mediums, I found myself returning to a focus on paintings since 2016. Starting with "<Pilgrim>
This world is so old that there is nothing new.>I delved into the realm of animated-oil flat artworks. This eventually led to a series of exhibitions that expanded the forms of painting, commencing with the group exhibition "<Desperate, Pessimistic, Optimistic>".

Centered around the welcoming and formal aspects of flat imagery, I began experimenting with painting, exploring the cognitive and online functionalities of images, as well as their material aspects.

In the year 2020, I presented a solo exhibition titled "<마계인魔界人 Pandemonium >", where I translated over a decade of restless movement into cohesive paintings. This unique presentation framed my portfolio as the very structure of the artwork, encapsulating a reimagined interpretation of my past works alongside my current paintings.

In 2022, I delved into experimenting with material gestures, layering images to build completed artworks. This practice represented the evolving limits of representational painting in the temporal dimension, serving as a reflection of my daily exercise and imagery. Throughout my journey, I've engaged in both writing and drawing, contemplating the forms, time, and meanings inherent within the realm of painting.
