Stil-de-grain-vitesse 2

CHO, Hae Young has long painted with ‘place’ as her principal subject matter. While the places in her early works tended to be personal and intimate spaces, they gradually lose this identity and turn into the superficial projection of objects that are themselves ambiguous and indeterminable. Scenes in the paintings that started as actual settings witnessed by the artist come directly into contact with her doubts regarding intuition and the limits of cognitive faculties that are unstable and susceptible. Following such changes in the artist’s thinking on place, Stil-de-grain-vitesse 2 expresses the superficial image of a landscape glimpsed briefly while moving, and Magenta-green 3 illustrates that of a scene covered with a magenta screen.
