About the Item
Humming Letter #131 by Ji-an Kwon – Mixed Media on Canvas, 27 x 27 cm (2025)
Ji-an Kwon’s “Humming Letter #131” (2025) is a mixed media painting on canvas measuring 27 x 27 cm (10.6 x 10.6 in). This intimate work showcases the artist’s distinctive method of applying pigments with her hands, creating a tactile, sculptural surface. Vivid greens dominate the center of the composition, framed by deep purples, reds, and flashes of yellow, giving the impression of a vibrant portal that seems to pulse with rhythm and energy.
What makes this piece unique is its direct connection to music and gesture. Part of Kwon’s acclaimed Humming Letter series, the painting transforms sound waves and humming into layered textures and colors. Each stroke becomes an echo of voice and movement, translating the intangible qualities of music into a visual experience.
The artwork is in excellent condition. Its dense impasto is intentional, forming a three-dimensional relief that captures light from different angles. This dynamic surface makes the painting feel alive, changing subtly as the viewer moves around it.
Ji-an Kwon (born 1984), also known as Solbi, is a South Korean artist who has exhibited widely in Seoul, Paris, and New York. Since her first solo exhibition in 2012, she has been celebrated for merging her background in music with visual art, developing a practice she calls “self-collaboration.” Her works have been recognized for their originality, emotional depth, and ability to invite reflection on communication and healing
.
For collectors, “Humming Letter #131” represents not only a captivating visual artwork but also a rare opportunity to own a piece that embodies the artist’s personal philosophy, where art, sound, and touch converge.
