Two Men" is about loneliness and inner dialogue in a late-night BAR. Despite the title "Two Men," the figures in this painting actually seem to represent the internal divisions and conflicts of one person. The figure holding a glass of wine in his hand suggests a moment of escaping from reality and deeply confronting his inner world. The narrow corner space where the character stands symbolizes the feelings and loneliness trapped inside him. The somewhat inorganic and cramped atmosphere of the bar indicates a disconnection from the outside world, and his mind is drawn into the inner world, unable to reach the world outside its small window. With the inner release brought about by the intoxication of wine, the two men become one, and the boundary between reality and illusion blurs. The lines and bubbles swirling below represent the passage of time and the whirlwind of deep emotions, depicting a heavy moment of facing oneself in the stillness of the night. The work explores the complex psychology of human beings who face their innermost feelings in the silence of the night and give themselves over to escaping reality and loneliness.
