오혁진 ｜ Oh Hyuck Jin 행복해지려고 했던 마음들은 단지 까마득한 어둠 속에 떨어져만 가는 마음들을 붙잡아 올리기 위함이지 않았을까. 각자의 불행도 저마다 다르다지만불행이 지속되는 것만큼이나 큰 불행이 있겠느냐는 생각이 나를 멈춰 서게 했다. 행복이 곧 무엇이라고 정의 내릴 순 없어도 불행하고 싶지 않은 우리들이니까. 바라던 행복을 만나지 못하더라도 불행에도 다다르지 않았음에 평온함에 이른다는 것. 가장 중간의 정도, 편안하고 안온하다는 감정은 마치 적당함에서 오는 삶의 균형과 같다. 중간이라는 적당함의 균형, 평온함에 이르고 싶은 마음을 그날의 시각으로 바라본 주변의 사물과 사람들을 통해 전달하고자 한다. 거칠고 모난 질감과 모양의 실루엣을 가졌지만, 색감과 배치의 균형으로 거칠지만 따스함을 갖고 있는 균형이란 평온을 전달하고자 한다. 모두의 마음에 평온이 찾아오기를 희망한다.2023.05.10 - 작가노트 중에서 - Hyuck Jin Oh (b.1997) is a rising Korean artist whose work delves into the emotional complexity of the human experience.His distinctive approach to mixed media combines different materials with traditional pigments, creating textured, layeredcompositions that convey the emotional depth and warmth of life’s spectrum.
