KIM JAE YONG - Donut Fear(Teaser) l Hakgojae Gallery (김재용 작가 ㅣ 도넛피어 ㅣ 티저 영상 ㅣ 학고재갤러리)

In 2008, a harsh reality came. Jae Yong was lost in a life where he can no longer be an artist. Without figuring out the answers to questions like, 'will I be able to make a living making a donut?' and 'will doing so help continue art?', he create Donut, no a donut, in despair. To turn fear into hope, and not to give up on life, the artist rigorously worked on creating donuts again and again. With those donuts, he had to fight his fear of color, which he has been avoiding. The artist, who strictly refrained from introducing color to his work because of his color blindness, is now expressing splendid field of color plays on the Donut. It would not have been possible if Jae Yong did not confront the fear and horror with the boundless belief and confidence in self.
