About the Item
Humming Letter #64 (2023) by Kwon Ji-an
Mixed media on canvas 91 x 116.8 cm (35.8 x 46 in)
Kwon Ji-an’s Humming Letter #64 is an evocative expression of movement, emotion, and sensory depth. Created in 2023 as part of her ongoing Humming Letter series, this piece captures the essence of sound transformed into visual poetry. The artist’s signature technique—applying paint directly with her hands—infuses the canvas with an organic energy, where every swirl and stroke feels alive with intention.
Kwon’s approach to painting is deeply intuitive, translating the resonance of music and emotion into textured landscapes of color. In Humming Letter #64, vibrant red florals emerge dynamically from a layered background of blues, purples, and greens, creating a sense of movement that recalls the fleeting, rhythmic nature of a hum. The absence of traditional brushwork allows for a deeply tactile surface, making each mark feel spontaneous and immersive. The textured application of paint reflects light differently at every angle, enhancing its depth and vibrancy.
This work is a testament to Kwon Ji-an’s ability to blend contemporary abstraction with personal storytelling. As an internationally recognized multidisciplinary artist, her paintings go beyond aesthetics—they serve as emotional landscapes that invite introspection. The Humming Letter series has become one of her most celebrated bodies of work, symbolizing a dialogue between visual and auditory expression.
Additionally, Kwon’s transition from the world of music to fine art lends a rare duality to her practice, making her work highly sought after by collectors who appreciate both conceptual depth and expressive technique.
This mixed-media painting is in pristine condition, professionally preserved with archival materials to maintain its vibrant hues and layered textures. The thick application of paint creates a dimensionality that is best appreciated in person, with subtle variations in color and depth that shift under different lighting conditions.
Since her debut as a visual artist in 2012, Kwon Ji-an has continuously expanded the boundaries of self-expression. The Humming Letter series is a direct reflection of her creative process, where sound waves and the physicality of paint merge into a single artistic language. This series has been exhibited in prominent art spaces and continues to draw interest from collectors who resonate with its meditative and emotive qualities.
This piece offers collectors a chance to own a significant work from Kwon Ji-an’s artistic evolution. Its dynamic composition and deeply personal nature make it a compelling acquisition for those who appreciate art that bridges music, movement, and emotion.
