압구정 in 1987
Oil on canvas, 100x80cm, November 2023
Free strokes of lines turned into shapes, spaces, and volumes. 압구정 in 1987 was a chill location even to a little boy's eyes. The area later became a popular place for teenagers and young adults to hang out in the mid 90s until early 2000s.
The area does not have the same vibe as it once did, but it's certainly popular again to the generation that's born after 2000. Or at least that is what I hear. But for this piece, I recommend that you try to feel what it used to be like in the 80s when you went out to a chill place. For Korean audience, I suggest you listen to a song by 조용필, 꿈.
*I'm not 100% happy with the texture of the colors. I'm tempted to fix them, sometimes not always.
