Hello, my name is Seungyeon (Tami) Han. I am from Busan, South Korea, and I am currently based in Vancouver, on the unceded lands of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations.
I am a freelance art curator who runs the curatorial platform Lecheztamtam, and I am also the founder of the art collective Nomado Art House. Our team organizes artist-run exhibitions to support artists—especially local artists—by providing accessible venues such as cafés and galleries to showcase their work.
I am also a painter who likes to investigate on the limit of reaching the understanding of the others which lead me to question about the limit of the language itself as well as uncertainty of the universe ultimately.
My artwork tend to fragment the space and time, also I create multi layers in my canvas which reflect on my intertwined understanding of the warped and flawed reality I perceive everyday.
As a former science major, I express my nostalgic to the empirical, a priori knowledge that I still attempt to understand better everyday, especially uncertainty reality underlying in the quantum mechanics because I believe by understanding the behaviour of particles explained by principles and postulates of science, I can continues get inspired from those gained knowledge to express with my own experience through visual languages with mathematical expression as well.
Currently, my method of expression is fragmented collage-based styles with the found magazines or my own photograph but recently I am trying to get inspiration from the different external sources such as using the pre-existing mathematical equations or scientific experiments conducted by myself or inspired from other sources.
Through this process, I seek to move beyond earlier discouragement in math and science and embracing a life-long engagement with knowledge. My work ultimately reflects a desire to approach the uncertainty nature of reality while continuously learning and reinterpreting it through visual language.
