Lively Space
This world Ha Young Joo looks at is the place where innumerable existences spout their own willingness and so it is most actively vivid. Truly, cosmic stars are exquisitely playing through their own motions with their most elaborate figures and techniques. All kinds of animals that proficiently make the bases of their own livelihood as if to have learned them sometime express their lives with their even more vivid motions. At the same time, we reveal ourselves in numerous people and also by others, and this world is full of entities expressing willingness, and the world itself is also no other than such will. Now, the artist tries to contain in forms the emission of that will continued without any single stop. Those forms moving in the works reject to stay in a fixed pause and proceed to their own unpredictable directions. She is painting great movements shown through the whole body among the movements of human being, and these great images are the expressions maximizing dynamics. A strong contrast of Chinese ink and white powder reveals the visual effect of expressing great movements intensively. It's because the animation that the world is full of can be revealed only by formalizing the most liberal and the most energetic movements. Just this force cultivating our lives is most essential and eternal, but it is revealed to be most dynamic moment by moment. In order to express the essence laid just in that moment, she captures the moment at which the most energetic force is emitted. This moment is most dynamic one which connects the past, the present and the future like one breath, neither a particular point of time vanishing if passed nor the present stopped. She is applying keen touches at the end of her hands by using the characteristics of materials. Such expression simultaneously maximizes movements and the moments at which they are captured. She turns around towards and looks at all these things that are surrounding herself and that are composing the world. She tries to refuse one fixed direction and now approach all the things that she comes to welcome by moving her body upwards and downwards and leaning back to the full. She is expressing her own eyes with which to look at the world and her own shapes that she jumps into it by serially producing the images that throw themselves to various directions. She gets to meet more parts of the world by changing the direction, accepts the energies owned by them with the whole body through this meeting, and becomes united with them. Such a process is also the starting point from which she can again proceed to a new direction. A series of works containing her own shapes towards various directions are revealing the intention that she tries to throw herself in that vivid world and identify with it rather than look at the world negatively standing around it. If art enables us to experience the world and its essence, her work is the space where energy and passion emitted from herself are by meeting with the vivid nature of the world. Through this space, we will find ourselves turning around to another direction by seeing and accepting lively forces beyond her paintings.
