About the Item

SungYong Hong, in calling his current series of images "Heuristic," offers a clue to the meaning behind the work, but as much as it reveals an idea, it conceals as well. Heuristic refers to a method of study, or learning, whereby the tools of deduction, and trial and error, lead the investigator to a discovery. In SungYong Hong's art, the tools are numerous and the discoveries are many. In his lenticular prints, depths and layers emerge in striking three-dimensional images, where circles and whorls of bright colors jump out of a black ground. The artist started his creative career as a photographer, using the camera to record images around him. His development in technique and imagery evolved, leading him to interests in optics, science, computer technologies and printing methods. As is often the case, the road he set out upon led him in directions he may not have planned at the outset. He has arrived to a body of work that relates strongly to the Op-Art movement of the 1960s and its current resurgence in contemporary art. In 1965, the Museum of Modern Art presented The Responsive Eye, an exhibition of works which focused on optical illusions and the perceptual possibilities in relationships of certain colors. The Op-Art movement was born, and grew to include important modern artists like Josef Albers, Victor Vasarely, Frank Stella and Ellsworth Kelly. Like these earlier artists, SungYong Hong's work explores the relationships of color, depth of field, and the inherent possibilities and limitations intwo-dimensional works. In his series, "Heuristic," and his earlier group of works titled "Noise"& “Darkness” on exhibition at LYNN Fine Art Gallery, Hong delves into explorations of the way the brain records images. In doing so, he taps into the deep recesses of the human psyche and consciousness as it develops, and even as it slips back into the void. Hong states that part of his work is an attempt to explore the visions that exist beyond the eye's capacities. His vibrant hues pop off the background, leaving behind the two-dimensional surface, as if that flatness, not his images, were the illusion. Interestingly, the series "Noise” brings a sense of meditative silence, and "Heuristic" engages the viewer in an exploration for which no definitive answer can be found. In these works at Art plus & Lynn Fine Art Gallery, SungYong Hong performs the task only the artist can to pose questions that are unanswerable and to create sensations that exist beyond the experiential.

  • On Silverlode Road
    By Jonas Fisch
    Located in Los Angeles, CA
    Swedish artist Jonas Fisch’s imagery is vibrantly buzzing with colorful commentary on society - past and present - morphed into figures, words, and shapes. His heavily layered canvases are the foundations of a new visual dialogue. Fisch paints with a jazz-like spontaneity, expressing personal emotions, commenting on contemporary society, and exploring old mythologies. Formulating a galaxy of the unknown, Fisch’s textural paintings flood the mind with possibility. His process is instinctive and organic, the paintings energetic and vibrant, emerging from his subconscious without judgment. They are constructed by feelings trying to find harmony. Endless figures, messages, layers, and symbols move in and out of focus as the eye explores his puzzle pieces with varied solutions. Jonas Fisch created this large colorful 93-inch tall by 67-inch wide painting with mixed media. acrylic, and oil stick on canvas. This artwork is stretched and is ready to hang. It is signed by the artist on the back of the painting. This artwork does not require framing. Free delivery is available for those in the local Los Angeles area, and affordable worldwide shipping is available for US and international art collectors. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included with the artwork, ensuring that the piece is an authentic work of art from Jonas Fisch. Born in a small fisherman's village in southern Sweden, contemporary artist Jonas Fisch discovered his love for drawing and painting at a young age and was inspired to pursue his passion by renowned artist and grandmother Ann-Marie Sjögren. Fisch reflects, “As a fundamentally introspective person, I have an explosive need to express and communicate my innermost rays, reflections, and shadows. The canvas, the brush, and the paint allow me to act out, throw up, confront, and examine those innermost feelings. Painting becomes my outlet. At a certain moment, each shape, stroke, and color suddenly takes over and the painting reveals itself. It becomes an expressive personal collaboration of art." Fisch's artworks have been exhibited across the United States, Switzerland, and Hong Kong. His paintings can be found in private collections worldwide.
