Zin Helena Song
Polygon in space #25 - orange, grey, blue, sculptural wall painting on linen

2015

About the Item

acrylic on linen 40" x 35" x 3" 2015 This item is offered by the Muriel Guépin gallery, NY In this piece, Zin Helena Song uses quite a chaotic pattern, and almost looks like a tornado as seen from above. This is an interesting contrast to her other pieces, as this pattern is not naturally occurring in urban settings. This shape looks far more natural, though she morphs it into an urban shape by sharpening it up, and by dissecting it into smaller, sharp, bright triangular shapes. Zin Helena Song was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1983 and completed her undergraduate studies there at the Kook Min University before traveling to New York, where she earned her MFA from L.I.U. Post. Song is a painter whose highly technical pieces layer hard-edged abstraction on top of meticulously created supports. She creates each uniquely shaped panel by hand to augment the crisp geometric lines of her vivid and pastel color planes. The visual complexity of her compositions is diagrammed according to her notions of order and multiplicity in modern urban society. She creates ethereal geometric sculptures from wood and canvas. She is currently based in South Korea. Her work is heavily rooted in her use of color, space, structure and geometry and how they interact on a shaped canvas. She sees in her work a similarity and mirroring of the natural phenomenon of society and life. Every color she chooses, and shape she uses, is connected to each other, and becomes synergistic, much like society.

    Donald Martiny’s signature work is composed of dispersed pigment on aluminum. He creates immediately frozen brushstrokes that are made from his own movements. They are defined by the physicality of his body. Moving is an expression, just as is the color. The paintings are actual authentic gestures. Once completed, they look like relief on the wall.
