I remember this painting Jae!!! I think it was hung around the entrance of the school, where the prefects do their sock check-up? haha Love it, beautiful work :)

Jae. C said...

Ooh yes that's where it was hung!
That was the most exciting moment of my life, having my own space for an exhibition. It makes me happy that you still remember it. thank you:)
i've retrieved it from AIC when i visited so it's safely back in my arms again.
oh and the sock checks. we were so used to being in such a strange culture..

you artists are amazing. i remember the final exhibition... was very impressed with a lot of you guys' artworks. i could never in a million years paint something like that :D aic hasn't changed much actually, from what i saw in your pics on facebook... oh memories.

Jae. C said...

yeah i had pretty art mates! hehe
why don't you give painting a try! i think you'll be good at it.
AIC hasn't changed much, except for loads and loads of artworks all around the school and half a million koreans in the hallways. haha.
it brought me back so many good memories, though, i was overwhelmed standing inside the building. i just wished everyone else was there as well.
oh i miss you :(
