Yes ! M SLAVE
“Provocative feel”----I Belief in synthesis concept and stimulating contextualization. Nude physicality of three dimensional mass is an allegory of freedom, provocative man is evolved from ADAM. There is no synthetic cloth on the body. Even it is baked without ceramic’s artificial color. “NUDECOLOR”, is color of natural color of mud (terra-cotta), on the other hand human body is also manufactured with the same color and with the same material; support to the subjectivity or contextualization in the installation. Yet concaved-shallow shaped tarry, covered with bowl-pattern (animal print) orate to worldliness. But the human figure is purge from the ornamentation and decoration.

ď‚— Slave
Gesture painting kind of catharsis for me. Main skeptical rendered to inner desire to get escape from the material. My soul is bounded in the physical existence of material. I am melting. I want peace. I m awful....rational source of light is making me ruin...I want escape.
M NOT Slave Struggle to get amorphous muse. I don’t belief in the symmetrical balance I bow to asymmetrical venture. I don’t belief in the geometrical flow. I yearn to develop organic ting. There is constant endeavor to record automatic glimpse of instinctive stimulus, direct interact to viewer through perceptual obscure...
M I ‘SLAVE?
M I slave? Want to get rid from nostalgia. Enamel on lasani with pastels. My whole Slave series is indicating, urge to get escape from the worldly behaviors. Moreover, my innate frenzy world is yonder from the fancy happenings.
Slave Painted on a chrome sheet, conventional manual hooding of cocco-mocho (a cappuccino advertisement) used as backdrop surface, which is intentionally muffled behind the vintage point. Main hypothesis of the two dimensions picturesque is “Evil mist become narcotic�. There are thin and thick losing strokes, representing the free-fall and fluent instinct of human being. There is forceful existence of rebel against nature and stimulating desire for freedom from conventional boundaries, use of black and orange hue, referring to irrational vigor.
