Hong Ji-min

Graduated from Hongik University's Graduate School of General Studies. Multiple individual and team competitions. Hong Ji-min works based in Seoul and Bangkok, Thailand, and produces animation films and fairy tale books based on paintings. Inspired by the traditional folk painting material and painting style, Bangkok's rich nature is added to the lively natural scenery of Korea to constitute a unique landscape painting unique to the artist. It is expressed in unrealistic but beautiful, humorous and elegant landscapes by adding the rich natural scenery created by the colorful plants of Bangkok to the natural scenery created by the Korean green forest. Wonderland's landscape is layered with various colors and patterns repeatedly. In addition, the arrangement of various colors distributes the viewer's gaze throughout the work without an accurate center point. The screen made of colored surfaces looks more flatter. In addition, the screen with a dynamic sense of rhythm looks wider than the actual space.

Over centuries, the ego of man has obsessed over two ideas: self and life. The obsessions manifested in many ways, one form being astrology: gazing at the stars to find answers about ¡®myself¡¯ and ¡®my longevity¡¯. While fighting time, and losing the battle every time, mankind has on the other hand obsessed over the immediate gratifications, often which shortens and threatens the very life we hold on to so tightly. Likewise, the series represents the cognitive dissonance man has regarding life: the irony that dances between the fleeting idealism of hedonistic life and the ever-imminent shadow of death. Each painting of the series depicts a zodiac sign smoking cigarettes. The astrological figure stands solitary on the planet the zodiac sign is ruled by, which represents the foundational ground the figure navigates to know thyself. The cigarettes are a modern day interpretation of ¡°memento mori¡±, latin for ¡°remember you must die¡±, also a symbolic trope that acts as a reminder of the inevitability of death. The reminders of our mortality are ignited and fleetingly put out.
