About Artist 박형지의 회화는 역행한다. 그가 만드는 이미지는 시작에서 완성이라는 종착점으로 향해 나아가기보다 끝없는 수행의 과정 속에서 불현듯 드러난다. 붓이 지나간 자리에 남는 흔적들은 작가가 빈 화면 앞에서 집요하게 실패하고 망치기를 계속해간 시간의 중첩이다. 의도치 않게 섞인 색과 떨어진 물감의 자국은 작가에게 또 다른 이야기를 위한 단서가 되며 꼬리잡기를 하듯 이어진다. 말하자면 각 화면은 행위의 잔상이자 다른 화면과 계속해서 이어지는 서사의 한 조각인 것이다. 비정형의 형상과 겹쳐진 물감의 궤적은 즉물적인 감각을 지속적으로 생산하며, 관객에게 작가의 에너지를 전이시키는 매개로서 생동한다.
Hyungji Park’s paintings go backwards. Rather than moving from the beginning to the completion, the images she creates are suddenly pop up in the process of endless practice. The traces of the brushes are the overlapped layers of time which the artist persistently fails and ruins in front of the empty canvas. Unintentionally mixed colours and dripping paint marks become clues for another story for the artist, which continues as if catching a tail. In other words, each screen is an afterimage of her actions and a piece of narrative connected to other screens. The atypical shape and the trajectory of overlapping paint continue to produce sensible experience and are acting as a medium for transferring the artist’s energy to the audience.
