About the Item
Parallel Construction, oil on canvas, 48 x 54 in.
Oonju Chun’s large abstract expressionist paintings delightfully employ the basics of good, nonobjective communication. Her sophisticated gestures energetically convey a sense of balance and chaos. The scale of her work allows one to be immersed by her vaguely eastern sensibility, possibly due to heavy use of black which provides foundation and gives her color dynamic energy.
Ms. Chun was born and raised in Korea. As a teenager she moved to the United States to live with her older sister and attend high school in Utah. She received her BFA from the University of Utah in 1981 and lived in San Francisco for several years before returning to Salt Lake City nearly ten years ago. She recently married and relocated to beautiful Eden, Utah.
Chun’s work is in the Utah State Permanent Collection and numerous private collections throughout the US. She did an artist residency at Maynard Dixon's home and studio in Mt. Carmel, Utah at the invitation of Thunderbird Foundation in 2011. In 2012 she received an Honorable Mention at Bountiful Davis Art Center's Statewide Competition and in 2014 she received a 2nd Place Juror’s Award at Springville Museum’s Spring Salon. She has had numerous solo and group exhibitions.
ARTIST STATEMENT:
My images are devoid of any conceptual consideration or meaning. One can say it is less complicated, rather, quite simple in its essence. I cannot explain the meaning of my work because I do not impose any. I think that is why it works better at striking certain ‘raw’ reactions. The emotional response is direct and immediate. It goes from my eyes directly to my heart and does not require mental interpretation. If a viewer feels similar emotional sensibilities, then, my paintings have spoken to them. In the end, the works are not about meaning or formal elements. All art forms evoke emotion and those emotions are subjective. They are subjective upon one’s own life, cultural and visual experiences, emotional sensibilities, etc. My paintings become what each viewer gets out of them.
I am not a conceptual artist but a spontaneous, reactionary painter. When I paint, it is a purely impulsive visual response to lines, colors and composition. I am not thinking on a conceptual level and I love that. It is liberating and exhilarating. Quite simply put, this is art that is linear and without alternate construct, recognizing only itself, a mirror reflection, art that is for its own sake, purpose and utility.

View AllInland Crossing 35
By Hyunmee Lee
Located in Salt Lake City, UT
The gestural paintings of Hyunmee Lee are sumptuously minimal. Rich forms advance from buttery canvases like an abstract garden. Gauzy veils of paint hover like soft air against the ebony weight of matter. Light peeks through translucent shapes like sunlight illuminating soft mist. Texture swirls and echoes across the canvas as if carved by waves or eroded by the wind. The viewer, invited into a realm of contemplation and meditation, is surprised to look away and see the physical world existing in only three dimensions. But perhaps that is precisely the experience the artist would like the viewer to have.

Untitled, 1974
By Claudia Sisemore
Located in Salt Lake City, UT
"Untitled, 1974" by Claudia Sisemore, acylic on canvas, 58 x 56 inches, $7,200. Unframed.
"I have a vague idea of what I am going to paint. I read that many artists are inspired by an idea before they begin their work and plan their approach and process based on that idea or muse. Others become inspired after they have begun working and watching colors, shapes and designs form. I basically belong the second group. Usually, after painting begins in a loose, free manner, I become excited by certain colors and patterns and continue from there." -Claudia Sisemore
