Ji-an Kwon
Humming Letter #89

2024

About the Item

Mixed media on canvas 27 x 27 cm (10.6 x 10.6 in) Kwon Ji-an’s Humming Letter #89 is a delicate yet powerful expression of movement, emotion, and tactile depth. Part of her renowned Humming Letter series, this intimate piece transforms sound into color, embodying the artist’s signature fusion of music and visual art. This composition is distinguished by its dreamlike blend of soft pinks, deep greens, and layered blues, evoking the serenity of a wildflower field under an expansive sky. The textured application of paint—applied directly by hand—creates a richly dimensional surface, where each gesture carries an organic and spontaneous energy. The presence of Kwon’s fluid script along the lower edge further reinforces the connection between sound, rhythm, and the painted landscape. The compact scale of Humming Letter #89 invites an intimate viewing experience, drawing attention to the intricacies of texture and color. Despite its smaller size, the piece radiates a sense of vastness, much like a melody that lingers beyond its final note. Kwon Ji-an’s Humming Letter series has established itself as a significant body of work, recognized for its ability to merge auditory and visual expression. This particular piece is a striking example of her artistry, offering a composition that is both expressive and contemplative. As an artist whose work exists at the intersection of contemporary painting and performance, Kwon’s pieces are increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate art that transcends traditional boundaries. Humming Letter #89holds a distinct appeal for those drawn to works that evoke emotion, movement, and sensory depth. This mixed-media painting is in excellent condition, professionally maintained to ensure the longevity of its color and texture. The thick, impasto layers create a sculptural quality, shifting subtly under different lighting conditions. The surface is dynamic, with intricate variations that enhance its vibrancy and depth. Kwon Ji-an’s evolution from the world of music to contemporary art has shaped her unique approach to painting. The Humming Letter series reflects her exploration of the connection between sound and visual abstraction, with each piece functioning as a translation of emotion into form. Since her first solo exhibition in 2012, she has continued to refine this distinctive artistic language, gaining recognition both in Korea and internationally. This piece presents a unique opportunity to acquire a work from one of Kwon Ji-an’s most recognized series. Its expressive detail, rich texture, and thoughtful composition make it a compelling addition to any collection, offering both visual and emotional resonance.
