YOON JONGSEOK
KOREA, B.1970
Yoon records his everyday life by taking photos of the things that he wants to collect from what he sees and transfers the ones that are especially memorable and inspiring into his paintings. He recreates his own story by the process of tracking the time in history associated with selected images and connects himself with them in the present and what messages can this past leave to the future. Due to his way of painting as putting down dots by syringe, Yoon is known as “the syringe artist”, but this word cannot describe his extraordinariness. His work demands over a million times of repetitive gesture as if the life of a monk that laziness is totally unacceptable.
