Song Min Gyu (AKA Song Ho-Eun)

I picked up a free catalog at Art space Hue, which featured the artist Song Min Gyu (AKA Song Ho-Eun). His? Her paintings look a lot like Ed Ruscha, but I like Min's sh** way better. Mostly Min depicts landscapes in a flat cartoonish way. “I can do it” features a brick wall with the words “I can do it.” at the bottom. I love the emptiness of the paintings. A bad emptiness like the blues or the American suburban landscapes. The grey world of work and then going home to a house in the suburbs where things are suppose to be better but there not there worse. I think these paintings emulate that life style where everyone is caught in this grey zone of average everything. There are two websites on the catalog www.seouldrawing.com and www.galleryking.co.kr
