Navin

Navin has been creating unique paintings by reconstructing colors and compositions based on the sensations she encounters in the field, using objects she observes everyday or while taking a travel break. Still life-flowers and fruits created by glazing technique, which adds depth to the canvas and effectively expresses illusion through yellow light by mainly using oil painting and thin layers of highly transparent paint, vividly realizes the space of rest between reality and ideals in a flat surface. The artist, who experiences a sense of sublime while observing the shapes and colors of flowers that change by morning and evening, borrows the form of flowers to capture her ego during the long hours of layering paint. Portraits of flowers are connected to everyday objects such as plums and reveal their essence, offering the viewers to see a portrait of the artist in it as well. Navin, who studied at Ewha Womans University and Korea National University of Arts, participated in numerous solo and group exhibition starting from the solo exhibition <Table Layer> (Gallery closing, 2013), to Gana Art Space, Namseoul Branch of the Seoul Museum of Art, and Dongdaemun Design Plaza, and was selected as a registered artist for the 2nd archive of Soma Drawing Center.
