Written Offer Stating I, Mary Kim, am offering as a gift to the State Foundation on Culture and the Arts,

the painting "Yeon U" listed below, on September 9, 2020." The below context is

about the detailed information of the painting “Yeon U.”

Artist Name: Mary Taehee Kim

Title: Yeon U (Mist)

Medium: Acrylic on Canvas

Completion year: 2020

Dimensions: 72 x 54 inches

Fair Market Value: $2500

Painting Description:

My concept of poetic abstraction combines Sijo (a distinctive Korean poem format),

the Korean traditional color schemes of Oh Bang Saeg and Oh Gan Saeg, and the

concept of Han (the Korean interpretation of a historically particular, innate bittersweet

sorrow emotion). To better understand the definition of Han and also new interpretations

of Han in modern Korean society, it is necessary to look into Korean history. The idea of

Han was developed from a long history of invasions into Korea from surrounding

countries. The current manifestation of Han in Korean people has changed to reflect

individual struggles rather than nationwide problems. I tried to embody Han on canvas

with the color white to represent yeo back ui mi, the beauty of blank and negative space.

My paintings are based on the Korean folktale metaphor, Yeoubi, which is a phenomenon

in nature usually called ‘sun showers’ in English. The subject matter of ‘rain’ is indicative

of the influence the various rain phenomena of Hawaiʻi has had on my artwork.

In Korean, the phenomenon known as ‘sun showers’, where rain is coming down while

the sun is still shining, is referred to as Yeoubi. Breaking the word down, Yeou means

‘fox’ and Bi means ‘rain.’ The origin of this name is from one of the traditional Korean

folktales depicting a bittersweet love, also called Yeoubi. In the story, a cloud fell in love

with a fox. However, this fox got married to a tiger, and this happened on a day when the

sun was shining brightly. When the cloud saw the fox’s wedding, he cried for he could not

marry the fox himself and was thus left with his unrequited love. The cloud’s teardrops

then turned into rain in the human world, however, it was still a clear, cloudless day. The

cloud quickly stopped crying, however, because he soon hoped the fox would have a

bright future, even if it were without him. This story then spawned the concept of Yeoubi,

a short sun shower.

The painting, Yeon U [Fig.5], a misty foggy rain, mainly consists of dark Oh Gan

Saeg colors such as dark purple, green, and orange. The combination of three dark colors

is inspired by the post-sunset dark sky of Hawaiʻi, in the moments right before it becomes

a dark navy night sky. On the bottom, there are smooth curved lines in an earthy dark

purple. These depict the splashes and ripples made by rain on rivers or oceans. With

those lines and dark colors, I depict the moment in which the cloud in the story disgorges

its negative emotions. The cloud became calm after crying, but the scars left in the mind

remained. On the edge of the right side of the middle, there is a white dash, which appears

to be shining when the viewer looks from far away; however, it becomes a matte surface

when one looks closer. I wanted to depict the white-gray clouds, which shine in the night

through the bright yet matte white. The matte surface depicts the dull reality and the

shining appearance depicts the shiny ideal while dealing with problems, which are

invisible to others. This is aptly described in a quote from Charlie Chaplin commonly used

in Korea: Life is a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long shot. The dark

color combinations indicate the cloud’s personal struggles. However, I ultimately want to

deliver the positive message to the viewers expressing the light that comes at the end of

a struggle.
