Artist Statement:
An artwork has its own
reason-d'etre as an objective
substance. The essence of an
artwork does not necessarily
draw its artistic power from
the subjective self of the
artist. Conventionally,
however, people who try to
appreciate an artwork tend to
regard the artwork as an
expression of internal self of
the artist. The conflict
between the artist and the
recipient, in terms of the
artwork, starts from here.
In the era when the religious
passion stimulates the
imagination in internal self
of artists, as, for instance,
in painters in Western
middle-age, the devout belief
in God --- and the internal
imagination that accompanies
it --- produced numbers of
Christian paintings. Painters
and people who see them share
a universal episteme coming
from the Belief, which
reflects the completion of the
religious doctrine. Buddhism
also produced a number of
Buddhist artworks for
spreading the Buddhist
doctrine.
In the present era, where the
uniformity of time and space
is increasingly under doubt,
and being perceived as
somthing more chaotic, the
external world itself is
perceived as containing the
artistic image. Thus, the
image of internal self is
understood to be its shadow, a
phantom whose substance exists
in the external world. ...
