SOHN Junghee Enclosure
Sohn Junghee focuses on realizing the dreams hidden deeply within her through the use of clay. As Pablo Picasso once said ‘Everything you can imagine is real’, the imaginary world she expresses becomes real the moment she makes and bakes clay by hand. The theme of Sohn Junghee’s works came from her daily life. Reading fairy tales like the Snow White to little children, distorting and satirizing happy endings have become the concept of her works, and as time passed by, she looked for various sources for her works from across all the ages and countries. Such stories were transformed through the interruption of the artist’s imagination, and they work as an allegory of distortion or satire and criticism in social phenomena. The common sentiments that lie in all of Sohn Junghee’s works are sympathy, humor, longing (resentment), and soaring. Deep love and affection for humans are conveyed in her works. |
