About the Item

Lim Jin Sil expresses the coexistence of self and others and the sense of heterogeneity resulting from the differences between different worlds through old media such as old houses and rusty windows. Lim says that communication with others is incomplete communication in which each other cannot understand everything due to differences in each other's life experiences and perceptions. In the absence of complete communication, the contradictory appearance of disconnection in communication is evoked through her work. Lim Jin Sil, who is interested in old things, collects things forgotten from memory, such as old houses and windows that appear in scenes from classic Korean movies, and recombines or dismantles the collected images to create her works. Lim's work, we see red brick houses, blue tile roofs, faded walls, and outdated windows that remind us of our childhood. The neighborhood where we lived as a child, which exists in my memory, and the tree in my maternal grandmother's yard that seems to always be there when we return, become a medium that takes the audience back to those memories. The sunset light, chirping birds, and the light in the eyes of a stray cat depicted in the work remind us of the stories that occurred in the background of the work and the atmosphere of that moment. The titles of the works are extremely personal and realistic, such as and , and Lim expresses the real landscape with dreamy colors and a surreal painting style, allowing the reality trapped within the confines of consciousness to escape from the outside of everyday life. It is transformed into a space that escapes from. The artist's screen, a mixture of reality and the unconscious, is reconstructed as an extremely private and magnetized space that each person has experienced differently in various real spaces. Lim graduated from Hannam University's Department of Western Painting and has had seven solo exhibitions and more than 15 group exhibitions.
