The comment from the artist
In recent years, I have defined my creative activities as deconstruction of various coverup matters which are inside INSTITUTION , in other words reason = phenomena threatening public order that are ensured by LANGUAGE activities (for instance, erotic behaviors and violent desires) and with observing de-mean-ization elicited from it, will explore the limit and possibilities of dismantlement of our reasonable order (which means, to predicate the both sides of the limitation -between reasonable and unreasonable fields-) and attempt in stages to slip new values into the structure in multilayer, which value has deprived. In this exhibition, as the previous step of these attempts, to predicate the value of languages, I will observe denial functions of the adjacent or opponent intellections with criterial arbitrary denotation (segment of languages and its value and display) in a new series of works of “Painted Negativity” which I employed a format of painting as one of a method.
