Today's human beings have advanced greatly.
Humans can travel outside of earth and they can even explore the deep of the sea.
We can communicate with people in other countries within seconds.
However, there are still so many wars and so much violence. Why?

"Cara De Un Gato" means "The Cat Face" in spainish, this is a myth from a small town in northern Chile. I found this myth when I traveled there 3 years ago.

A long time ago, in an obscure time...

The God of Terror
The God of terror is the god who controls people or groups' feuds and violence.
His control is not just restraining when they are in a bad state of tension, he lets people break this state by using adequate violence at the right time.
The result is tragic for one side or for both, but it's certainly positive in a wider point of view.

One day he woke up, and discovered that he had lost his head.
What the hell happened?!

His Butter
He had a oily skin.
His face was always full of oil, some people who saw that, cut his head and sold his oil. They hardened his oil and sold it as butter, it is popular for its special flavor.

The Cat Head
The Bleeding didn't stop. So he grabbed his cat and forced it onto his neck. He then went out to find a head.

When he asked the flower, the flower laughed at his face.
When he talked to the lion, the lion ignored his words.
When he drew for the rabbit, the rabbit peed on his feet and jumped away.

He found that he is alone.


The Circus

The people thought his interesting face could make money. So they captured him and sold him to the circus.
He got so frustrated that his anger exploded. All hell broke loose.
After that, he lost control of violence and now the world of today is ruled by uncontrolled violence.

今日まで人類はすばらしい発展を成した。
宇宙を旅行することも、深海を探険することもできる。他の大陸の人とリアルタイムで顔を見て対話を交わすこともできる。
それにもかかわらず、まだ多くの戦争と暴力が存在する。なぜ?
「カラ・デ・アン・ガト」はスペイン語で猫の顔という意味だ。これはチリの北部にある小さな村の神話だ。3年前この村を旅行した時、ある話を聞いた。

昔のある日、暴力の神さま
暴力の神さまは人々の間の紛争と暴力を調節する神さまだ。
「調節をする」と言っても平和を守るようにするのではなくて、人や集団の間に緊張関係がある時、適当なタイミングで適度な暴力を通じて葛藤を解消するようにすることだ。
その結果は片方にまたは両方に悲劇的だととらえることも出来るが、大きな観点で見ると肯定的である。
ある日眠りから覚めた時、頭が消えた。
これは一体何なのか?

彼のバター

彼はオイリー肌だった。
彼の顔はいつも油っぽく、それを気付いた人々は彼が眠っている間に彼の顔を切断して油を集めて売った。
彼らはその油を固めてバターにして販売したが、珍しい風味のため非常に人気が高かった。

猫頭
出血は止まらなかった。神さまは彼の猫を取り上げて首から入れこんだ。
そして自分の頭を捜しに行った。
花に尋ねると、花は彼の顔を見て笑った。
ライオンに声を掛けたら、ライオンは彼の言葉を無視した。
ウサギに近付くと、ウサギは彼の足におしっこをして垂らしてから遠くに飛び去ってしまった。

サーカス
人々は彼のおもしろい顔でお金儲けが出来ると思った。それで彼らは彼をつかまえてサーカス団に売ってしまった。
彼はイライラし、その結果、彼の怒りは爆発した。
彼の怒りは収まらなかったし、その後今日までこの世の中は制御されない暴力に支配されるようになったと言われている。

2007.0920-0924 1st solo exhibition "Cara de un Gato" at Nolias gallery in London, UK


Euge와의 두달만의 재회, 계속 이것저것 많이 신경써주고 있다. 캄사 m(_ _)m  뮤지션은 섹시하다.

갤러리오너 말레이지아계 놀리아 아줌마, 수다스러워서 정신이 없어질 정도지만,ㅎㅎ 많이 배운다. 어느새 런던의 마마가 되어버렸다. 경력 40년의 포토그라퍼 아저씨 <- 트위기의 사진도 찍으셨다는!

무대디자인아저씨..방송국 아저씨 등등...

대화하는 척하는 욤과 Euge.

이런저런 일정들로 전혀 홍보를 못했는데, 두루두루 많이들 와주셨다. 캄사합니다. 그러고보니 사진에 담지 못한 게스트들이 많아 아쉽군! (사진 찍으신 분들은 "pineappleyom@쥐메일닷컴"으로 보내주세용.) 영국에서의 전시는 일본에서의 그것과 또 다른 많은 돌발상황들이 있었다. 비싼 수업료를 내고 배우는 것이라고 생각해. 다음엔 더 잘할 것 같아.

Group Exhibition "Designers' Party", Seoul, Artinus

忘却の乳
人々は寝ながら苦痛の記憶をどんどん忘れることが出来る。それは夜中、彼女が「忘却の乳」を振りかけてくれるからだ。

-韓国ソウルのデザイナーズパーティー展示会中で


the Milk of Oblivion
people are able to forget the sorrow while sleeping, because she provides us with the Milk of Oblivion during midnights.

I was one of the organizer of the "desginers' Party" exhibition. The "desginers' Party" was a designer's social network that I made with my colleagues. We would hold parties and design projects twice a year and there would be around 300 people. that's what I was doing for 2 years before I came to Japan.

1st day

8월 14일에서 있을 디자이너스파티 - 일러스트레이션 전시를 위한 Painting작업.
새벽 3시부터 삘받고 달리기 시작.
전에 하피넷 표지에도 쓰였던, Milk of Oblivion의 나름..대형작.
이런 스케일의 작업을 경험해본적이 없어서 두근두근.

2nd day

그림을 그리는 내내, Ctrl+Z 버튼과, history창을 떠올린다. ㅡ.ㅡ;;


5th day

updated! 대어중중 90% 완성.
이제 젖을 더 그려넣은 다음, milk방울방울에 표정을 넣어주고,
날개에 깃털을 좀 다듬어 줄 예정.
