![Bae Joonsung - The Costume of a Painter, The Frames [2015]](http://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7300/28067851841_2e1f0dd8c4_b.jpg)
“Titles of my paintings always begin with the phrase The Costume of painter. The phrase refers to the costumes painted by the artist, and at the same time, signifies a certain layer derived through eyes of the artist. I have always believed that when an artist paints, with his or her eyes caressing over the model, the painting created through eyes of the artist brings birth to another model. However, the model painted or created, hovering somewhere around the artist's free will, demands in turn that the artist paint again. This demand springs from the physical and mental time of the artist's painting. In the end, the phrase,"the costume of painter", implies not the costume painted by artist, but what suddenly happens to the artist while painting the costume.”
