The figures are arranged within a stable composition, yet a linear element cutting across the surface disrupts that order.The line that connects them is, at once, a bond and a source of tension. Relations with others are never seamless, and their misalignment remains as a subtle discomfort within the frame. In this work, relationships are not resolved into harmony. The tension that arises when beings with different sensibilities and positionscoexist within a single scene emerges as the underlying structure of the painting.

인물들은 안정적인 구도 안에 배치되어 있지만, 화면을 가로지르는 직선은 그 질서를 교란한다. 서로를 잇는 선은 연결이면서 동시에 긴장이다. 타자와의 관계는 언제나 매끄럽지 않으며, 그 어긋남은 화면 안에 미세한 불편함으로 남는다. 이 작업에서 관계는 조화로 봉합되지 않는다. 서로 다른 감각과 위치를 가진 존재들이 하나의 장면 안에서 공존할 때 발생하는 긴장이 회화의 구조로 드러난다

Be My World

NARACE

Narace is a sea nymph, yet one who cannot descend into the deep sea.
Through relationships with others marked by absence and wounds, she learns how connections are formed.
Her Sea Trees and Sea Constellations mark the moment when incompleteness meets its transformation into relatio

Narace occupies a central position within Eun Joo Kim’s painting world,
where connection arises not from unity, but from difference
