Junsung Back
Junsung Back's paintings are about animal, plants, or people who are easy to understand, however various people and animals in the paintings are not specific object themselves. It is about acting like a charm that draws empathy and stories from viewers. As Back sees the people who see his paintings and make different set of bridges, he believes that anyone can find the intersection of empathy in his paintings of materials not for them to discover the theory of modern art. The quiet confrontation between the subject and the subtopic makes each subject stand alone. Seeing but not facing each other, creates mixed dialogue and tension by placing in a strange space, which helps viewers find their own point of intersection more aggressively, interpreting the reality's reproducibility of poetry, not its own meaning Back believes that the metaphorical painting can even reach deeper as like in the sentence of the Book of Anxiety written by Fernando Pessoa, it is said "Dreaming Bordeaux is better than getting off the Bordeaux train station even closer to the truth." Back's work this year seems to be relationship-oriented, but at the same time it was time to look at absurdities and contradictions encountered by isolation-oriented tendencies he hopes it can be a time for those who look at his work to think about himself or about other people relationship.
