Depiction：
Artist Kim Bo-min starts from his existence and focuses on the connection between himself, others, and the self and the world in space. The artist's message is close to the proposition of existentialist philosophy that existence comes before essence, and the expression technique can be seen as a cityscape that reflects the lonely existence of modern people on a background made of color planes. The artist wants to record the relationship between people completely, the emotions felt in that relationship, and the memories of those emotions on the canvas. The artist simplifies the space into geometric planes and arranges plants, animals, and objects around the human being depicted in a small size. The result is a direct reflection of the proportion of the size of a human walking between high-rise buildings in the city. The back view of the human being in the work approaches the lonely modern person enduring the repeated worries of daily life. The characters are walking and gazing somewhere. The artist's point of view is located behind the characters. At first glance, the artist's work resembles the walking person and gaze strangely, keywords of Giacometti's work. The figures seem to feel the loneliness and existence of humans, like Giacometti's sculptures, and the silent appearance while contemplating approaches as a cross-section of humans living a finite life. Walking means existing, and gaze also means being alive. To existentialists, humans are existence itself, and existing means being there. The artist minimally expresses the building in various shapes or simple lines, but the viewer perceives the form as the existence of space. The minimal image may be a byproduct of the artist's memory of space that remains in his faded memory, and the various colors may be an expression of the artist's sensibility that changes from moment to moment. The color of the present feeling and emotion reminiscent of memories like black and white is applied. The work consists of sophisticated and warm colors and bold and straightforward spatial composition, and the detailed descriptions that fill it are in perfect harmony. The artist expresses the memories that come to mind with colors and shapes. The artist's new attempt at another form of work started from the image of a lonely human life, but it seems to be an attempt at color-field abstraction that omits humans, plants, and animals and depicts only space. By simplifying the anxious existence of humans into color-field abstraction, he symbolizes his existence as an empty space through colors and shapes.
작가는 제목을 정하는 것 또한의 일부이며, 인류에게 작품을 하는 것은 질문이라고 생각합니다. "알지않았으면좋았을것들", "어김없이찾아오는아침", "거꾸로내리는비처럼"과같이작품에부여된짧고시적인 제목들은 작가의사유와문학적감각의깊이를느끼게합니다. 실체의제목은관람객이작품을감상하는동안상상력을촉진하고호기심을불러일으키는조미료와같습니다. 실존철주의학자들에게 불안은존재를드러내는필수적인 요소입니다. 하이데거에게불안은인간이존재전체로부터사라지는경험입니다. 인간은죽음에직면합니다. 불안한 경험을 하는 생명체로서, 작가는 앞에서 어떤 형태와 색으로 자신의 존재를 증명하고, 어떤주제로관람객에게 공감불러일으킬지궁금합니다.
