cherries (no.1), oil on canvas, 2006
Julie Insun Youn is an up-and-coming artist from Seoul. Her MA thesis exhibition "Studies on Presence" opens today at the Lucent Room Studio in Madison and runs until November 10th. The opening reception is this Friday, November 5th, 6-9pm--wine, cheese, dessert, jazz, and fine art.
Here is the artist's statement for the exhibition:
I de-familliarize and rediscover the mundane, vulgar, and everyday by the aesthetics of "blur." Blur in my work tactically aims a partial loss of visual information while producing atmospheric phenomena. This loss is a dismissal of the unnecessary, transfiguration of the boredom, and half-forgetfulness of the abject, which ultimately work towards the disclosure of what has been hidden, the heightening of what is more important. Charged with the pain of "absence,” this show is intended to evoke this immaterial essence, or more precisely speaking, to invite the viewers to the practice of mourning for "presence."
