[이데일리 오현주 문화전문기자] I have to start with that knurled thing that tightly fills a round circle. They are glass beads with a diameter of 2.5 to 3.0 mm. Tens of thousands, not hundreds of thousands. Depending on whether you look at it from above or below, how obliquely you look at it, and what kind of lighting you use, ‘different pictures’ come out. That is why it is a work called ‘Recursive Reflection Painting’.
Artist Wi Sung-woong (57) paints with glass beads. The work of translating fragments of everyday life is no different from other two-dimensional artists, but the solid fixation of glass beads is completely different instead of the smooth flow of the brush.
It is a glass marble that has been infused for over 15 years. This is the first time that I have been packing the leaves of plants that are commonly seen around me in close-up with line drawing. After that, everything was ‘floating’. It was made by taking an icon of a person, simplifying it geometrically, and enriching it. As time passed, the scenery surrounding them began to be added one by one.
The circular composition with a square screen in the background is also unique. In it, figurative and abstract figures that may or may not be captured in form are added, and various scenes of everyday life are mixed together. Thanks to this, in my work, a ‘shiny’ fantasy where reality and fantasy intersect is always flowing. In the series “Have a Day” (2023), which has been repackaged as a new work, the color of spring is especially strong.
It can be seen in the solo exhibition ‘Having a Day’, which runs until the 24th at G&J Gallery, Insa Art Center, Insadong-gil, Jongno-gu, Seoul.
