Bang Zi-young

Zi-young Bang paints natural and objects encountered in places where one’s gaze may linger unconsciously.

From childhood, She was interested in tranquility, peace, and calmness. She discovered these qualities in everyday objects and the cyclical changes of the seasons.

Repetition brings about change, which becomes evident in things categorized by time. Through repetitive actions, She explored why humans find comfort in seemingly monotonous and ordinary repetitions. She concluded that this sense of stability comes from a natural flow, reflecting the artist's own daily life.

She covers the entire canvas with deep darkness and then layering colors to create shapes and forms. This process mirrors the artist's quest for understanding the fluctuations of the heart in response to environmental changes.

The Artist condenses this exploration by layering paint, simplifying time and form. Her work concludes with results that, through simple and objectified representations of daily life and subtle use of color, do not overtly express emotions.
