Tony Bluestone’s Solo Exhibition
Installation View of ODE TO CHRISTMAS
Installation View of JET LAG
Tony Bluestone imagines the flight time and exhibition space in Seoul that will be occupied by the painting that left the studio for his first solo exhibition abroad, and expresses the unfamiliar feeling when the work is placed on a par with the human body as a physical being. It is interpreted as a “Jet Lag”. Jet Lag is the feeling when the time of a certain place does not match the time of a person, and usually refers to the body's experience of adjusting to a different time zone after a flight. By connecting this to the substantiality of the work, he draws a painting in an unusual place, and nevertheless implies a series of processes of willingly reaching a place where he loses a sense of direction.
토니 블루스톤은 해외에서 준비하는 첫 개인전을 위해 작업실을 떠난 작품이 점유하게 될 비행시간과 서울의 전시공간을 상상하며, 작품이 물리적 존재로써 인간의 몸과 동등한 선상에 놓이게 될 때의 생경한 감각을 ‘Jet Lag’, 시차로 해석한다. ‘시차’는 어떤 장소의 시간이 사람의 시간과 맞지 않을 때의 느낌으로, 보통 비행 후에 다른 시차에 적응하려는 몸의 경험을 일컫는다. 작가는 이를 작품이 지니는 실재성에 결부시켜 낯선 장소에서의 회화를 그리고, 그럼에도 불구하고 방향 감각을 상실하는 곳에 기꺼이 가 닿는 일련의 과정을 회화로 함축한다.
