MONKNORI

1 PAGE" is a group of works that sublimates the sensation of daily life by cutting out a page from a magazine and layering it with paint and collage. The collage makes the figures more anonymous, the painted advertisements lose their role, and the screen, covered with expressions and information, is sublimated into a pure painting.

The works are a group of works that give visible form to the invisible and conceptual, and capture them as scenery. He creates a painting space that abstracts the aesthetic experience of the mind's constant attempt to capture something (beauty).
