__________________________________
Joel Bewley is an American artist living in Korea. He has been influenced by his study of the Korean language and its culture, incorporating linguistic idiosyncrasies and double entendres to express his core concept of duality. This basic concept infuses all of his works, allowing the viewer to ask �what is the opposite of what I am seeing, and why?�
조웰 뷸리는 한국에 살고 있는 미국 화가이다. 그는 한국어와 한국 문화를 공부하면서 매우 큰 영향을 받으며, 그가 가장 표현하고자 하는 이원성을 한국어가 가지고 있는 특이성 및 이중적인 의미와 결합시키고 있다. 작가는 그것을 통해 영감을 받으며 작품을 통해 우리에게 �내가 지금 보고 있는 반대는 무엇이며 왜 그럴까?� 라는 질문을 던진다.
As part of his continued exploration of the enigmatic theme of duality, Joel Bewley continues his visual and conceptual journey in his second solo show Internal Affairs. As the title suggests, the works presented deal with the interior struggles which individuals confront daily either consciously or sub-consciously. This struggle is visualized through the use of a dark gray palette off-set with blindingly bright orange swathes, patches, outlines, and other various visual elements throughout the images; in other words the mythological battle between light and dark. Bewley�s use of mass-produced and easily recognized product labels hint at the banal commonality of these struggles, and suggests they may not be as unique or deeply interior as one may initially think, and in fact may be universal to the human experience.
