MONKNORI

1 PAGE" is a series of works that sublimates the sensations of daily life by cutting out a page from a magazine and layering paint and collage on top of it. The collage renders the figures anonymous, the painted advertisements lose their role, and the screen, covered with expressions and information, becomes a pure painting.

This is a group of works that create images of invisible or conceptual things and capture them as landscapes. He creates a painting space that abstracts the aesthetic experience of the mind's constant attempt to capture something (beauty).
