Update of my artist statement in Mills Pond galleryI'm looking to revise my local gallery's statement piece for the new year. This statement was written in the early days of my activities in the United States, and it looks like it will be updated a lot. Comparing to now, I can see that I have grown a lot as an artist. Although I need to grow further in the future, I think this statement has helped me create a new vision as an artist. The update is a wider variety of exhibition activities. He also earned a master's degree from Adelphi University. He taught children and published children's books. Meanwhile, my career and vision as an artist were growing. I organized this : Since its debut at the Poly Gallery in Germany in 2011, Anna has been actively engaged in over 60 domestic and international exhibitions and received various awards. Throughout her career for many years, trying to understand the message nature gives to humans through her paintings, and she has experienced healing and transformation. She has been an art advocate for the community, participating in local art shows and exhibitions as a Stony Brook-based artist, especially since 2013, when she moved to the United States and received her citizenship. Above all, Anna is deeply passionate about art education. Her commitment to education is a cornerstone of her journey as an artist. She has been cultivating her vision by teaching her students, publishing her children's books, and since earning her Master's degree from Adelphi Graduate School in 2023. Her books are available on the Amazon store. (https://www.amazon.com/author/annakoh) Lastly, as an artist, she communicates with art lovers worldwide through her blog, and through this, she develops her world of work. Her philosophy doesn't just create in isolation – she thrives on connection. Through her blog, she engages with art lovers worldwide, offering glimpses into her creative process and the stories behind her masterpieces. Daily, she shares the progress of her work, inviting fans to join her on this artistic journey. You can see her story by visiting her official website, annakoh.com. I think the artist's statement should be updated every year. This is because artists also continuously grow through their work. To achieve this, I believe that artists must grow by communicating with the world rather than isolating themselves.
I got this answer through the master's program I recently graduated from, which expanded the scope of my work. Personally, I can say that this journey has been the most rewarding course I have made in the last year.

The beginning and the end eventually meet on the same lineThere are many theories about the birth of the universe, but even Gamoff's Big Bang theory, which is the most influential model for the birth of the universe to date, cannot escape the law of homeostasis. According to the Big Bang theory, in a space where there was nothing, primitive atoms gathered together at a very high density and exploded, creating all the materials that make up the current universe and creating the current universe. Moreover, after the Big Bang, the early universe was a primordial fireball with very high temperature and density, but it expanded rapidly and gradually cooled, and the rate of expansion is also gradually decreasing. In other words, this gigantic universe is also an emanation of energy that occurred after breaking a certain originally stable state, which means that this too may one day lose all energy and return to ‘nothingness’ over time. The beginning and the end eventually meet on the same line The beginning of an energy has no choice but to face the extremely natural fate of creating the homeostasis pursued by Mother Nature and then falling asleep through death. This is neither sad nor happy, it is just a natural truth. In this respect, many similar philosophies and ideas of the East and the West are very compatible with homeostasis. If homeostasis means ‘a state that is just right and appropriate’, that is, an intermediate value, the ideas of the Greeks Plato and Aristotle explain this well. I confess that every time I read about homeostasis and the principles of nature, my paintings were also a process of exploring these axiom. The painting below is the first painting I made in Germany that made me the artist I am today. Starting with this painting, I was able to create paintings that would debut in German galleries. This painting was a pictorial representation of the process of returning from something to nothing. I expressed my complicated feelings due to my father's death, living abroad, and the meaning of life in my paintings. When I first drew this painting, I didn't think it would reach any point in my painting process. This painting and my career as an artist felt separate at the time. But after ten years passed, I learned one truth that gave me goosebumps. In other words, the first painting at that time is exactly the same as the world of art that I realize now. In other words, before I became a painter, I already knew what I would draw, what I would worry about, and what I would realize ten years from now. This is consistent with the coexistence and homeostasis of the universe. In the end, the beginning and the end were on the same line. Even if I wasn't aware of it, I was moving forward little by little by some energy. Announce for changing "Logo"Recently I changed the old logo to a new one. This was created using Canva in a new and simple form with my signature, title, and homepage address all included. Most of all, I created them with two options like the below because of alternative purpose.
Compare to text on the intro page, it looks more simple but clear with strong image. A logo has characteristics that symbolize and represent a site, person, job, or company. Just as each country has a national flag that symbolizes that country, the company's logo has the same meaning as this national flag.
In the past, in my case, when I made a logo, it was a fun thing and I didn't put much meaning into it. But as your site grows, just like distributing business cards, you realize how important it is to create your own symbol. In this sense, the changed logo seems to have a good meaning symbolizing me and my site. |
