An Sang-hoon's paintings are constantly revealing and erasing. Starting from images destined to disappear from photographs, they undergo countless painterly decisions, transforming into abstract canvases, their traces solidifying on the surface. In this process, the concepts of "hand" and "stain" operate as potential elements in his works. The hand leaves marks at every stage, and the stain accepts these marks, existing in an imperfect state. Stains often reveal the truth before disappearing, briefly existing quietly in the canvas. They wander between disappearance and persistence, constantly transforming and reborn. The works begin with these disappearing moments. Photos discarded in the trash bin of an iPhone, destined to be erased as vaguely as fragments of memory, are summoned onto the canvas through techniques such as watercolor, acrylic and spray paint to form initial layers. However, this is only the beginning. The figurative image is transformed and destroyed again through thick layers of paint and finger painting, a process that is not just deconstruction, but a search for the seeds of new order in chaos. Recent works such as "Plants that Can't Survive the Winter", "Green Santa Claus" and "Morning Exercise" imagine various layers as a single plane, combining them flatly with oil paint alone. The artist's method is closely related to his attitude towards painting, which manifests as a resistance to the traditional meaning of painting. He does not regard painting as a mere tool for representation, so in his works, traces of reference or appropriation are either removed or rendered invalid. Even the title of the work is severed from the image, leaving the language trace unexplained in the canvas. This attitude explores another possibility of painting. Unlike the common tendency in contemporary painting to assign meaning, he reveals the inherent potential of painting itself by removing the network of representation and meaning. He is constantly changing, exploring new possibilities of painting in chaos, and sometimes wavering in the face of the uncertainty he encounters. For him, uncertainty is not a threat, but an opportunity for new possibilities and experiments, the potential to repeat failures in an unfinished and unstable state, to constantly question his own paintings.

If you knew that I saw wild wild for the first time, I was led to the stage with 8 fierce men dancing around me and kissing me one by one, you would think that my life is really good at the peak of my life, so I must go to Seoul to see the most memorable experience of the Ouba business ability and the emotional value are in place.

you can climb up on foot in about 1.5 - 2 hours, from the side of Myeongdong there is a nice village, which is worth a walk. If you have a hard time climbing, it is better to use the funicular. Also, there are almost no kiosks selling water along the way

Historic buildings

乐观小妮子

The palace was built in 1395 (Hongwu, Ming Taizu, 28 years), and has undergone many destruction and reconstruction. The palace is named after the word &quot;Jingfu&quot; in &quot;Jingfu&quot; in &quot;Songs of Songs&quot;. The area and regulations of the palace are strictly followed by the patriarchal relationship with the patriarchal state of China. The county palace under the rule of the Prince was built according to the system of the Ming Dynasty palace. All buildings are distinguished from the yellow of the Chinese palace in the color of Danqing. 🪁 On the 50th anniversary of the Korean Guangfu Rehabilitation in 1995, the three governments of Jin Yong demolished the Japanese-occupied buildings on the grounds of restoring their traditional culture and &quot;clearing the symbols of the Japanese rule period&quot;, and the original site began a large-scale restoration of the Gyeongboku Palace and its annex buildings. In August 2010, South Korea rebuilt the Guanghua Gate, which was originally called &quot;de-Chineseization&quot; and was restored to a traditional Chinese character plaque.
