In late 2024, just as we were preparing to fly to Korea for a meeting, a lockdown was suddenly announced. Fortunately, it was lifted just before our flight, and we arrived safely in Korea. However, we soon found ourselves trapped in a subway car as protesting crowds surged in. We were squeezed so tightly we could barely breathe, almost lifted off our feet. We kept thinking, 'What if this turns into a stampede?' We encouraged each other to stay calm, find ways to breathe, keep our heads up, and most importantly, stay on our feet. Thankfully, after a few stops, the dense crowd disembarked at Yeouido Station, leaving us shaken and in tears. Later, after a few more stops, we left the subway and unexpectedly stumbled upon Hyejin's exhibition. The cats' languid and serene postures instantly calmed the storm of emotions we had just experienced. We felt as though we had found solid ground again after being adrift. It truly made us feel, from the bottom of our hearts, how wonderful it is to have cats in this world. Hyejin's cat artworks are such treasures. And so, this unexpected partnership came to be. 🤍 https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54791025978_c361304614_c.jpg Hyejin's style blends modern sensibilities with traditional Korean techniques, developed through slow, deliberate creation and hand-painting. We are deeply fond of the retro, nostalgic feel in her work, which evokes the folk painting scroll style of Korea's Joseon Dynasty. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54789923222_46ac7b4975_c.jpg Each stroke meticulously renders exquisite details, creating artworks that invite prolonged admiration. Creating art with traditional Korean techniques requires immense patience. The artist applies delicate layers of color, building rich textures and deep, saturated hues. Even the smallest butterfly or grasshopper is depicted with such fine detail and soul. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54791008469_cfdb8271f_c.jpg Each painting captures the essence of cats sharing our space. The cats' 'unhurried pace' and 'quiet companionship' are the messages the artist hopes to convey. Hyejin frequently holds solo exhibitions in Korea and has been creating art for over a decade. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54791102340_09288edf64_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54789923372_b9e7b97b2c_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54789923357_30bd7feac8_b.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54789923327_ebb7b5d094_b.jpg Hyejin primarily uses her own cats as subjects, portraying them with a mischievous yet sharp gaze—capturing their playfully fierce and uniquely individual personalities. There's a sense of conflict and harmony, a perfect fusion of tradition and modernity. By incorporating contemporary styles and characters, she depicts the lives and thoughts of animals within traditional art forms. She utilizes Hanji (traditional Korean paper) and the Gongbi (meticulous brushwork) technique, less commonly seen in the market. This paper lends a warm overall tone to the artwork, while the intricate Gongbi lines add exquisite detail. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54791008479_1a3b230ced_c.jpg This warm feeling, this wonderful combination, allows contemporary painting styles to integrate seamlessly.
