Exhibition Information

			Yun Hyong-keun’s painting does not recreate or decorate a subject. It simply seems like a trace of soaked brush stroked across the canvas. The indistinguishable yet distinguishable brush strokes are the result of Yun’s repetition of applying and drying paint mixed with terebene or linseed oil.

 

Yun’s style of artwork can be explained in three ways. First is the abstract surface of the early 70s. Then there is the style of “gate of heaven and earth” in the 70-80s, where two or three streaks of lines are bled into the canvas differently according to the concentration of the paint. Finally, he diminished the bleeding of the pillars and layered more paint until it reached black in the 90s.

 

Yun’s consistent figurative language became an important visual element that not only represents the artist’s unique style of technique but also implies the artist’s life

 

Like other artists, Yun also painted his reality onto the canvas.
