The 'Urban Space', a backdrop to our daily lives, is intertwined with complex relationships and intentions, as diverse as the people who create it. In contrast, 'Painting' distinctly reveals the aesthetic values and intentions of a single creator. Despite this, we encounter painterly scenes in our daily lives in the urban space. In those fleeting, rare, and beautiful moments, we instinctively reach for our own cameras to capture them.
In the same vein,
<Urban Painting> is the result of an exploration—observing various places in the urban space from afar and up close, going up and down, and actively seeking out such scenes. The scenes are discovered in the urban spaces themselves, in the movements of the people living on them, and in the changes created by light and seasons. Even if we are not conscious of being in those scenes, in some fleeting moment, we are there. Discovering and capturing these scenes in photographs is an exploration and documentation that naturally ought to continue along with urban life.
