Jong Eon Kim is Korean artist who pioneers an independent field by painting the passage of night. As a result, it is out of the general painting style of colorful coloring because it is not a landscape seen under sunlight. The unique ashen tone dominates and the sparing palette becomes the dominant color. His screens reveal their immovable existence in the dim gray remnants of human traces, but are locked in the silence of the night. Spots occur unexpectedly while expressing the snowflakes, and the dots of white paint generate pictorial conflict and tension between the spatial depth and the surface of the screen through perspective representation. 

‘밤새…’ by Jong Eon Kim, The interesting thing about the series is that it contains warmth between people, but there is no one in the work. In the late afternoon darkness, there is only white snow, a street lamp, and a small light coming from a small window.

 “Because the less people there are, the more people you see,” he said. “I visit this place on purpose in the late afternoon. The lights in the work are called ‘story’, and when there are no people, there are more lights, and when it is cold, the warmth is more remembered. A small light in the dark seems to be explained by a story.” explains.

 Those are series where you can feel the silence between the warmth and coziness of a snowy day.
