Unfamiliar Autumn explores the moment when reality dissolves into abstraction through the constantly shifting reflections of water. Trees, stones, fallen leaves, and light no longer appear as stable forms but transform into fluid lines and vibrant colors that exist between recognition and imagination. Inspired by an autumn landscape reflected in a quiet stream, the work captures an experience that felt simultaneously familiar and unfamiliar. The rippling surface fragments ordinary scenery into unexpected visual rhythms, revealing a hidden world where nature becomes an abstract language without losing its connection to reality. Rather than depicting autumn itself, the painting records the act of perception. It invites viewers to surrender the desire for certainty and discover beauty within visual ambiguity. In this unfamiliar landscape, memory, reflection, and emotion merge into a dynamic composition where order and chaos coexist.
[Unfamiliar Autumn] The fall of 2020 came to me differently from any other year. The autumn I was looking at could be found even in a small stream. Yet the appearance of that autumn felt strangely unfamiliar. Shapes were distorted, colors were mixed, and light was scattered. I wanted to remember this autumn. Unfamiliar Autumn exists somewhere between figuration and abstraction. I invite you to lose yourself in this confusion.
