artists are shut out by banks
Until the next exhibition, the next performance. For artists, income gaps are an unavoidable reality. For fellow artists forced into predatory loans just to afford paint, canvas, and studio rent, proceeds from this artwork become the Seed Fund — extending a fair hand at fair rates.

About the Artist
Park Jihye is an artist who traverses painting and digital media to visualize the senses of 'passing' and 'transition.' After receiving her DNAP in Fine Arts from L'École Supérieure d'Art et Design Le Havre-Rouen in France, she completed her M.F.A. and Ph.D. in Painting at the Graduate School of Hongik University. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate in the AI Design Lab at the Graduate School of Techno Design, Kookmin University. Her solo exhibitions include 〈Passing〉 (2013, 2014), 〈Passage〉 (2014), and 〈Visual Dialogue〉 (Hongik University Museum of Modern Art, 2024). She has participated in the Asian Young Artist Exhibition at Gwanghwamun International Art Festival, Herald Arcade 15, and 〈Reloaded〉 by the Korea Media Art Association.
Artist Statement
Through a repetitive process of drawing, erasing, and layering, I find forms that emerge — accidentally or deliberately — and rework them in my own way. In this process, the divided picture plane and the physical gap between canvases enable a visual experience particular to the work, and rest on the premise that the work's meaning is not fixed but is generated fluidly. The work aims at an open possibility: not bound to one particular meaning, but ceaselessly cycling and being reconstituted in new forms and meanings. In my early work I expressed the absence of fixed meaning through the movement of people. Now, however, I explore the same idea through the image of "feet." In my early work I expressed the absence of fixed meaning through the movement of people. Now, however, I explore the same idea through the image of "feet." Feet are an active element that enables human movement and change; they symbolize the act of walking and a state that is not stuck in place, and through them the work emphasizes fluidity and change rather than being limited to a particular meaning.
A dream I had as a child has acted as an important motif for my work. In the dream I kept growing smaller, everything around me felt enormous, and my line of sight was fixed on people's feet. That dream became the decisive occasion for "feet" to enter my work as a key element. Feet were chosen as a motif on which the observer's gaze comes to rest, and on which symbolic meaning could be granted through formal simplification. My work aims at a structure in which the form and meaning embedded in the work are not fixed but undergo continuous generation, reconfiguration, and circulation. Rather than delivering a single message, the work seeks to let various elements interact and open up new readings and sensory experiences.

Where Digital Meets Lacquer: Expanding the Boundaries of Contemporary Art
The idea that painting with oil on canvas is the only 'real' art was dismantled long ago. Twenty-one works at SAF 2026 are digital or mixed-media pieces that ask what materials art can claim. Jeong Chaehui's lacquer-and-eggshell work on digital print is the most striking example.
