This is one of recent major
works by Kyunam Han from the artist's personal collection. The
painting renders every elements what the contemporary master work
has to offer with New York. It is dynamic, it is vibrant and it is
noisy. The geometry of the buildings in the skyline gives a
wonderful cubistic composition. This view is from the window of
artist's studio in Crane Building - also known as Graffiti Building
- that housed many struggling artists. The pre-World War II -
factory building converted to studios is now condemned by City of
New York.
The nostalgic under current tonality gives you the sensation of
listening a great symphony by Tchaikovsky.
In
collaboration with Bonham and Butterfield, we put
this painting for broad international collectors who
not yet found modern master Kyunam Han. The auction
will be held in New York City on May 11th.

"Han notes that he likes to think of his
compositions as visual analogies to a string quartet in which individual
elements - line, hue, color, or texture - are allowed to dominate or recede
in the interests of the larger effect. Images hover above or below the
surface, present and absent at the same time. Through such devices, Han
manages to express the sense of New York City as an amalgamation of fleeting
sights, sounds and ever changing energy." -Eleanor Heartney
The diversity effects which Han achieves in this
painting is quite striking. He gives stimulating visual effect by
breaking down the forms in mosaics of colors and hold them in grids. He
deconstructs the imageries and reconstructs them to give his artistic
expressions. |
