New York, NY. JanKossen Contemporary is pleased to present W AVESAND W INDSby Ye Jin-Young, on view from October 12th to November 18th, 2017. This will be the artist?s first solo show with the gallery. Ye Jin-Young works to convey nature?s wondrous yet simple patterns in an equally delicate means by gently pulling and molding by hand, most often, virgin porcelain petal-like elements until they form a flowing piece of tapestry like wall art. Using the themes of wind, flower and water waves as focal point, he forces viewers to move with his works. Ye Jin-Young is inspired by the concept of a ?life force?or ?energy flow?, otherwise known as Qi. He creates his works by way of intuition, tracing memory and his own stream of consciousness to develop delicate, swirling patterns reminiscent of those found in the natural environment. The gentle repetition conceives a sense of spirituality as Jin-Young conjures landscapes of petals that seem otherworldly and yet comforting. Ye Jin-Young was born in Chung-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Korea in 1970. He studied oriental painting at Yeongnam University, Korea, where he received a BA in Fine Art. He was the recipient of awards including the grand prize from Daegu Art Competition and the Splendorous Prize from Shilla Art Competition. He currently lives and works in Korea.
