Star Wars Episode 3 – New Hope – A Thousand-Character Story
As the world economy has been receding, the domestic fine art markets have been stagnating with exhibitions and trades decreasing, while many people have been anxious and embarrassed, hoping for the markets to regain their strength. In such gloomy economic circumstances, however, we may well harbor a hope. It is Korea’s young artists’ competitive edge. UNC Gallery would like to introduce via its annual event plan ‘Star Wars Episode 3 Exhibition’ to the audience 5 artists who are qualified enough to be spotlighted anew in 2010
The 5 artists participating in Star Wars Episode 3 Exhibition are reproducing some personal and social fundamental issues in the 21st century rather than the themes raised following the fashion by mobilizing their imagination.
Artist Wi Young-il shows us the fictitious nature of the supermen created by our human desire in this rapidly changing complicated contemporary society. He reproduces the most perfect beings combined not as an extreme being but as a ridiculous look. Namely, he attempts to suggest some aspects of irrationality shown in our human beings’ excessive desire.
As the world we live in is more and more disintegrated, people attempt to create their own spaces rather than adapt themselves to the society, turning their backs from others. Yu Jin-young shows us such contemporary men’s fragmented images. In contrast, Moon Ji-ha who is based in the different cultural sphere or the United States attempts to find the contact point between his native and foreign cultures, exploring a way to communicate with other cultures in his relationship with others
Han Ji-seok wants to prove that individuals’ identity does not remain fixed in their society but vary depending on wherein it is contained or what environment it faces. Namely, he attempts to show us through paintings the invisible violence enforced upon the individuals by the society.
Byeon Kyoung-soo shows us that the society becomes more and more complicated as technologies and civilization develop, but that our contemporary men pursue a simple life in the complicated contemporary society; he depicts such nature of our contemporary men through excellent color sense and simple forms.
‘Star Wars Episode’ exhibition aims to offer an arena of discussion to the young intellectuals who endeavor to reflect on the present and suggest some directions for the future through their philosophical view of people and society and will represented by their formative language rather than just make us pleased and comfortable through their visual talent.
