​< 작가의 회화에 대하여 >
작가의 세계관인 OTC 중, Order질서에 집중해보자.

​

높고 낮음, 흐름, 깊고 얕음
​; 물질의 질서와 인간의 본성에 대한 지극히 개인적인 연구
​

작가가 생각하는 세상은 1)질서로 이루어져 있고, 그 가장 기본원칙은 2)높고 낮음, 흐름, 깊고 얕음이다. 이것은 물건의 물리적 성질과 인간의 정서적 특성에 적용된다. 


1) 질서
작은 알갱이들은 모여 이 커다란 세상을 이룬다. 단순한 모양과 크기만 만드는 것이 아니라, 특성도 만든다. 의식없는 이 작은 알갱이들이 사물을 만들고, 생각하고 느끼는 생명체를 만든다. 이렇게 만들어진 생명들이 사회와 규칙을 만든다. 돌연히 변이하고 개체와 단체에 적용된다. 그 안에 숨기지 않았으나 우리 눈에 보이지 않는 분명한 질서가 존재한다. 그렇다면, 존재물들(인간을 포함한 모든 유기체와 무기체)을 상호작용하게 하는 질서의 특징은 무엇일까.


-질서는 약속이다. 물질과 정서를 움직이게 한다. 산발적으로 보이지만, 일정한 방향성을 가지고 움직인다. 가까이 보면 혼란스럽지만, 떨어져 보면 약속이다. 
-약속은 사이를 만든다. 사이는 서로 맺은 관계를 뜻하기도 하고, 한 곳에서 다른 곳까지의 공간이나 시간을 뜻하기도 한다. 질서 안의 틈을 이야기한다. 
-틈에는 거리가 있다. 거리는 당기는 힘과 밀어내는 힘의 균형이다. 물건 사이의 거리는 우주 안의 행성들, 생물 안의 원자들 처럼, 끊임없이 움직이며 유지되는 거리이다. 사람 사이의 거리는 서로의 차이를 만들기도 하지만, 서로를 이해하기 위한 공간을 만들기도 한다. 타인 뿐만아니라 자신 안에서도 사이가 생기고 갈등한다. 즉, 질서 안 갈등은 필연이다.

​
2) 높고 낮음, 흐름, 깊고 얕음 
세상의 질서, 그 가장 기본 원칙은 <높고 낮음, 흐름, 깊고 얕음>이다. 이것은 물건의 물리적 성질과 인간의 정서적 특성을 포함한다. 크고 작은 모든 약속들이 상호작용하며 세상을 이루고 있다. <높고 낮음, 흐름, 깊고 얕음>은 결국 과정을 뜻한다. 완성과 결과는 존재하지 않는다. 인간과 인간을 휘감은 우주 안에서, 질서는 과정을 가시적으로 내보인다. 결과는 없다. 조화를 만들어가는 과정을 우리는 세상이라 부른다. 물질의 세계에 끝이 없듯(끊임없이 다른 것으로 재탄생하니까) 사람도 그렇다. 완성된 사람이 존재하지 않는 이유이다. 각자의 가치관을 만들고 그것에 따라 움직인다. 누군가는 끊임없이 높으려, 누군가는 자유로이 흐르려, 누군가는 한없이 깊으려, 평생을 바친다. 

<높고 낮음, 흐름, 깊고 얕음>의 질서는, 물질과 인간에 적용된다. 물리적 세상과, 인간과, 인간이 만든 사회의 원리가 달라 보이지 않는다. 물리적 성질과 인간의 특성, 그들의 질서와 갈등, 그리고 조화… 그 속에서 우리는 자연스레 세상과 나를 마주한다. 질서는 계속해서 물질과 생명에 관여한다. 나는 작가로서 이것에 기대어 작업한다. 이는 결국, 세상과 우리에 대한 이야기가 된다.

Height, Depth, and Flow
​; The fundamentally Subjective Study of the order of Matter and Human Nature

​
The work began as my curiosity about myself spread into the surrounding order. What the artist considers as the world is made up of order, and its basic principle is 2)Height, Depth, and Flow. This applies to the order of Matter and Human Nature.

1) Order
Small particles gather and build this world. They don’t just form shapes and sizes; they also create properties. These unconscious tiny things create both objects and humans. Then, they make rules and societies, suddenly mutate, and apply to a individuals and groups. In the process, there exists a clear order  that is not hidden yet unseen. This study is about the order that makes entities interact with each other.

-Order is a promise. It does move matter and emotions. It appears scattered, but moves with a certain direction. Up close, it seems chaotic, but from afar, it follows a promise.
-A promise make Teum(gap/crack). This always lies dormant within order.
-Teum has distance. The constant push and pull between forces. Between materials, this distance is every-shifting yet maintained, like the movement of planets in the universe or the orbits of atoms in matter. Between human beings, distance preserves individuality. Yet, it is also the reason of conflict and anxiety.
-Therefore, conflicts are necessary in order.
​
2) Height, Depth, and Flow
The basic principle of the order of this world is <Height, Depth, and Flow>. It contains the physical nature of things and the emotional aspects of human beings. All promises, whether great of small, interact with each other to shape the world. Therefore, <Height, Depth, and Flow> represents the process. There is no such thing as completion or result. The process of creating harmony is called ‘the world’. In this universe, order shows the progress. There is no result. As the material world endlessly transforms into other forms, so too does an end not exist. The same goes for people. This is why there is no perfect person. We each create our own values and act according to them. Some follow height, some follow depth, and some follow flow. They devote their whole lives.

<Height, Depth, and Flow> are applied to matter and humanity. The principle of the physical world, of human beings, and of human-made societies do not seem so different after all. The physical nature of things and the emotional aspects of human beings, their order and conflict, and harmony…within it, we encounter the world and ourselves. Orders continuously shape both matter and humanity. I study and work with the physical properties of the world and the nature of humans. And so, quite naturally, this becomes a story about the world and about ourselves.
