Return of the Real portrays the tensions in brutal boxing matches. The extreme moments of being punched is transferred into thought-provoking events through the painting process. These images can be uncomfortable and traumatic, yet they may be able to provide us an opportunity to rethink our lives in a different way beyond predetermined social criteria and expectations surrounding us, which sometimes make us feel as if we were being situated in the fights. The fighting images symbolise the events, which can lead to inevitable changes of our lives. I combined Korean ink and coloured painting techniques together for my new paintings to experiment with their incompatible material characteristics in an entirely new and different way.
