MIN-GYEONG JI
Min-Gyeong Ji’s artworks are two-dimensional paintings. The subject of most of them is the city; the
high and low buildings crowded together look like a group of families, and many resemble a theater
stage set. Streetlights and trees look like human figures standing silently in one spot, representing
characters in her paintings, which depict the intersection of love and hate for material civilization. In
contrast to the desolate city, the artist also treats us to visions of beautiful skies when the sun rises
or when the sun sets. The artist tries to contrast the built structures of humans and traces of their
coexistence living fiercely in pursuit of their ideals, with little sparkles of the beauty of nature.
