Did You Know?

The artist Suh Seung-won was one of the founding members of the Korean Avant-Garde Association in the late 1960s.

Description

As one of the founding members of the Korean Avant-Garde Association in the late 1960s, Suh Seung-Won is known for his poetic style that explores subtle geometric forms geometric with large, gently layered brush strokes, blurring and melding edges. According to Suh, this image came from his childhood memory of seeing a silvery beam of moonlight touch the mulberry paper pasted on the windows of a traditional Korean house. This work expresses the artist’s ongoing interest in creating a field in which three-dimensional forms and linear planes appear to float in the middle of the canvas, making a space of wonder where the material of acrylic and immateriality of light lose their distinction.
Vertically oriented acrylic painting in pale colors with soft-edged square shapes against a solid beige background. In the upper left and slightly smaller in the lower right are hazy white squares, each overlaid in their upper right corner by another square in a faded apricot orange color. The upper left white square meets with the left edge of the painting, and the apricot orange square in the lower right meets the right edge.
