WOO Kukwon (1976~)
Emotional Expression for the right moment of emotion means literally expressing own condensed emotional energy out at the right moment. Therefore the objectivity and fairness hardly survive in that right moments, there is no equality between the image he created and the image as itself. In his painting sometimes human turns into animal, sometimes animal changes into an object, sometimes an object changed into a human. His painting makes possible various interpretations about his works beyond common sense we have. Also, he works simultaneously and usually works on changing image with the lapse of time and the flow of his emotion, his painting teaches to the whole different image from the beginning. It might be the reason. His painting is like a hopeless puzzle or a riddle to the viewer. Adding up questions it makes the viewer fall into a labyrinth separately from the friendly first impression. Throwing out obsession will be the easiest way to appreciate his work. Artist also says “Please, keep open your mind as possible as you can and see my works without any distorted view or preconception.” When the viewer sees his painting without any prejudice just like the way he feels about his everyday life instead of finding an answer from his painting, it would be precious experience.
