Jeoungeun Lim’s recent artworks show a splashing play of light or
illusion using glass and plexiglass(acryl) etching(sandblasting)
technique. This methodology based on the transparent characteristic of
glass transforms engraved images on the surface into shadows. The
consecutiveness of image and shadow, inside and outside creates
all-encompassing space. Mirrors and colors are added to maximize the
kaleidoscope-like festive light play. The art piece goes on to produce
an optical illusion through the variation of square and cube figures
produced by the glass plates and its color shadows, stimulating a
feeling of weightlessness and infinity. And Both geometric shapes on
the glass surface and organic patterns of light make a splendid
optical illusion.

This art work is produces interesting image, varying with the
amount and angle of light. When I shine light on the colorfully
painted shapes of both sides of a plate glass pane, many colorful
shadows of the light reflecting form a cubic effect on the white
wall. It breaks the fixed idea that shadows are "black" and
creates a new active space of colors.
This installation is various different geometrical figures and
alters the color of my artistic production by sandblast on glass
and a kiln at low degrees. The glass is look like the sculptural
installed to the wall three-dimensionally.
Harmony, balance, rhythm, and proportion that are considered to be the rules of traditional aesthetics are based upon mathematics or derived from geometry. Here with, My art work internally deals with the world’s fundamental respect for existence expressed through the shapes of squares and its variations. This is two plaxiglass.
