Battleground explores the psychological landscape of war, confronts anxiety by juxtaposing it with the beauty of nature, and leads to thinking about the delicate balance between chaos and tranquility.
Battleground is ‘a space where hidden troubles protrude sharply’ and ‘a space filled with the energy of quiet explosion’. The geometric shapes of triangles and squares and artificial sculptures in the paintings are signs warning of land mines, warning signs at various military facilities, bunkers for war, and lines that should not be crossed. Situations where warning signs such as thin triangle and square marks on the battle ground appear to be colorfully pasted, landscapes exploding abstractly with colorful lights, and wall painting images depicting 'dancing ancestors', 'cats', 'women', etc., don’t look threatening. By overlapping these thoughts and narratives and expressing them metaphorically through the painting and the process, a psychological buffer zone that desires peaceful neutrality despite the presence of chaos is revealed, and this is depicted as a materialized landscape where fact and abstraction are mixed.

Exhibition View
I Still Care (@Eurocenter 14 July- 11 August 2023) is an art group exhibition dedicated to care and dare to care. It is about how we humans remain vulnerable, resourceful, and caring in front of the potential world-climate collapse. Invited artists are addressing the world-climate in an open context including natural, cultural, geopolitical, and mental atmospheric conditions prevailing in our time. We are inspecting the climate collapse from an elastic point of view, offering an alternative world and artistic mind space to forecast the future, based on the assumption that the majority of the human still care about the earth and each other. And we, fully human, who care, are still committed and ready to mend the damage, heal the wound and care for the lost. Curated by Wumen
