Jinnie Seo USA, 1963
Into the Blue Yonder, 2020
acrylic on hanji paper, wood
210 x 330 x 3.3 cm
Cerulean blue, conveying the notion of "truth" for the artist, covers the entire surface of the work.
The surface is made of Hanji which is Korean paper, in a grid pattern which re ects the grid of a square window. Going further back in Seo's memory of growing up in Hanok in Korea, the windows and doors framed her view seeing from inside,
in uenced the way she sees the world through a framing device.
In the work, Into the Blue Yonder (2020), there is a moment of re ection, a pause before we goes out into reality.

작품 Into the Blue Yonder (2020) 는 작가에게 '진실Truth'을 떠올리게 한다는 파란색이 선명하게 도포되어 있다.
작가는 나무 패널에 한지를 배접하고 그 위를 아크릴 물감으로 반복적으로 채색하였다. 한지가 서로 겹쳐진 부분은 격자무늬 형태로 은은하게 화면을 점유하는데 이는 마치 현실과 가상의 경계 속에서, 작가가 어린시절 자랐던 한옥에서 바라본 사각형의 창과 창 밖 너머의 끝없는 풍경으로 우리를 유도하는 듯 하다.
