About this artwork
This work powerfully visualizes the fundamental duality of emotion, directly mirroring Empedocles' forces of Philia (Love) and Neikos (Strife/Hate). It captures the agonizing complexity of a relationship simultaneously bound by affection and driven apart by conflict.
The creation process is rooted in intense manual labor, transforming everyday matter into a resilient base: Newspaper, symbolic of the everyday, was meticulously torn, soaked, kneaded… with glue, and applied to the canvas. An embossed pattern establishes a singular, textured space. Over this, oil paint heavily diluted with turpentine was violently spilled, representing the elemental, uncontrollable forces of destruction. Pebbles, marking the encounter between nature and man, were then affixed. At the time of production, the artist was immersed in the agony and pain of love, realizing that Love contains both the aspects of creation and inevitable destruction.
« I am a Korean artist who loves solitude, silence, and contemplation. I do not believe in philosophical realism. I believe that the world lasts only in permanent change. »
Daesun Choi is an artist based in South Korea whose paintings have been widely exhibited nationally, as well as in Japan, the United States, and Germany. His most recent abstract and semi-abstract compositions are made using newspapers, hanji, or paper strings. For Choi, the newspaper represents the secular world in which we live. However, he does not believe that this medium gives an accurate interpretation because of the inherent limitations of text language, whose meaning can be easily distorted.
