Picture
City-Disappearing Landscape, Korean paper collage and acrylic on canvas, 116.7x80.3cm, 2017
JOUNG Youngju (1970~)

Youngju Joung’s work portrays a shanty town hid by the buildings in
the city. She pastes a Korean hand-made paper on a canvas, then,
applies colors on it. This method is similar to 'papier colle' technique.
The unique characteristic appearing in Korean hand-made papers
allows her work seen like absorbing sunlight and revealing it warmly.
She started to use and explore the technique since she had studied in
Paris.
What she is now is the assemblage made of the fragments of her
memories in the past. She wants that the idea is also revealed in her
work: She employs hundreds of pieces of paper in order to make a
house, town and the world in her work.
House is not only a physical space, but also a base of human spirit and
culture, as well as a private history. Many people, however, pursue
something new while they easily forget and destroy the old ones, such
as old houses in the shanty town. She doesn’t think that the new
buildings suddenly appearing overnight contain good memories and
deliver it to people because there is no human nature. She regrets that
the shanty town becomes disappearing. So, she tries to give it an
important role as a main actor in the lives existing in her works. In this
point, her works are really paradoxical because it is not likely to
happen that the shanty town and old memories would be a
mainstream in this generation covered with massive buildings and
capitalism.
Her works are an attempt to express paradise with something
discarded or forgotten. The shanty town on her canvas gives a certain
kind of silent stability and warmth to people who might be tired of the
city.
