International Art Gallery.If we want to place her Space and Chromatic・Mysterious York in an artistic current, we can consider great references such as De Chirico and Magritte The settings belong to a dreamlike context, reality is certainly filtered by the artist's emotional stimuli and mental suggestions He thus presents surreal images on canvas that combine different elements of reality The artist's words are very important "When I was studying for a master's degree in the UK, I was often unhappy because of the pressure. I met a good friend there. She is a Korean girl. She knew I was often in a bad mood, so she often explored the surroundings of the school to see if there was any interesting place to take me to relax. The Walmgate Stray is a meadow near my dormitory that I used to walk across to get groceries, although I never noticed that there were other paths in the bushes next to it. One day, the Korean girl told me that she had found a path in Walmgate Stray, through which we could reach the center of town. So we crossed that path and walked toward the center to get out. The path is a slope." Space and Chromatic・Mysterious York

・Walmgate Stray depicts the artist standing looking back at the scenario just described "At the top of the painting is a very thin blue line, representing the path I usually take when I go to the supermarket. I used an eye-catching color to accentuate it, because it made me think that I could see myself differently than I was used to." Space and Chromatic・Mysterious York・ Path near Halifax・1 tells of her Korean friend's discovery of a new path near her dorm "She often went for a walk there, so she took me to have a look The forest on this path was very dense, but as we walked it became a meadow It was evening and I saw the setting sun illuminating the meadow and it was quiet "
