Glasgow Painting & Printmaking School of Fine Art

Yeon Ju (she/her)

Winner

RGI Graduate Award

“I see a canvas as a letter delivering my feelings. Painting starts with memories and imaginative stories related to love.

For me, love is eventually sad because it is about throwing yourself into something you do not know. I speak about the firm existence of love and time/space that we have passed through together, even though, in reality, the particular relationship has gone. I investigate the delay or inconsistency between reality and outside of reality.

My work depicts a moment of hallucination including a mixture of feelings with tears by showing rich dynamics and capricious changes of emotions through lines.”
