ARTIST'S COMMENT
One day, I have found a fabric which had a theme of a fairy tale.
It was printed on some happy scene of a fairy tale.
The two kids hung out in a forest and looked very happy.
I could see this textile on the fabric which showed a happy scene printing a repeat.
The happy scene is only a surface impression because it was a famous fairy tale which a candy house appeared.
I know there were not only a dangerous situation but also an ugly witch around them.
In this exhibition's theme, the fabric and fairy tale gave an impression to me.
The character, the Mr. Froggie, which I created will act on my painting works that looks so happy but actually it is an unhappy theme.
It will show the Mr. Froggie's repetitive, smiley faces in my painting works.
He will look so happy but you will guess an unhappy situation coming to him soon.
