			Prompt Project presents a solo exhibition <Promenade> by artist Youn Jongju from September 1st to 30th, 2023. Under the name color of nature and time, the artist’s impression is cumulated in numerous layers of color fields and a wall is filled with works of gradational color surfaces. The color spectrum shown in the works is an observation of everyday life colors and a layered graphic expression of time. Cherish The Time series shown in this exhibition comes from the earth and nature and from a sub-subject ‘promenade.’
 
The experience of viewing impressions from the color field which cannot be identified as one color, such as seeing both the sun on a cloudy day and red earth in one frame, makes the viewer hear the artist’s language and story which is substituted with countless colors. One walks through this color space as if on a promenade through nature’s essence. As we stroll along the artist’s works, we can read the stories encoded in the color fields from facing the seashore where a rough wave breaks through the seawall to immediately feeling the air of touching earth filled with iron.


Artist Youn Jongju’s works consist of color fields. The artist pours aquarelle on the canvas and utilizes the liquidity of the material to create her unique deep surface. As color plates are layered, the color changes slightly and depth is created. The artist’s repetitive action shows timeliness in the work. As the colors are layered and paints in the corners are wiped off, boundaries are formed. In recent works she has added light and line through gradation and numerous levels of colors for an even deeper color field. The deepened color field itself is filled with layers of time the artist has spent.
