Bae Yoon Hwan’s pictorial storytelling stems from political incidents, stories, fables and his personal experiences. By selectively employing images from a constant outpouring of media images or some art-historical pictures considered as classics, Bae juxtaposes and contrasts abundant tales in order to transform them into ceaseless narratives visualized in a variety of scales of forms. Thus, his practice consists of abrupt utterances of fragmental and anecdotal stories instead of following a coherent storyline; it is a manifestation of his original figurative ‘Automatism’. In terms of the technique, the new works are significant as Bae attempts to apply a new painting technique developed from the prior modes which experimented with graffiti-styles with his original rhythmical strokes. The new multiple-sized paintings whose solemn touch reminds us of Realism works of art depict close-up scenes of which animals such as a lion or a deer consume other creatures. Sensitively responding to the surrounding light, the glossy surface of the paintings increases the depth of light and shade.
