About the Item

A breathtaking oil painting depicting lips in motion with a photorealistic style that brings the viewer in for closer inspection. The details are flawless, as the glossy lip is defined in an impactful, yet delicate way. Roh Jae, who lives and works in South Korea, is impacted by the history of his country, and the endless stories which flood the city from which he is from. Markings are noticed on the background of graffiti to symbolize that beauty can be hurt, and we all have a story to tell. A truly unique and stunning work which is dramatic and sensual, and has been executed in a masterful way with exquisite details. This painting is signed lower right and comes framed in a contemporary custom frame with hanging wire. Art measures 11.5 x 20.5 inches Frame measures 12.5 x 22 inches Looking at the works of Roh Jae-soon, we can feel many stories being told through just one simple element: the mouth. Roh refuses to let daily life slide by, incorporating elements of sympathy into his paintings. If the sentence inscribed on the wall becomes a sentence, the lips on the canvas will tell stories as if they had become a reporter. We can hear the cry of the times through Roh Jae-soon’s canvases, embracing the stories of the world. The lips drawn on the canvas are about to tell a story. Roh's drawings are not simply the lips, but the ‘expression’ of the lips. Roh Jae-soon began to draw from the early days. Sometimes he drew the whole body, but mostly focused on eyes and faces. This collection of the lip work has its significance in telling the story of the world. The moment the artist commits the photographed lips to the canvas, the atmosphere and message of the artwork are determined. For instance, tight lips express the absence of communication and open lips the carpe-diem kind of gaiety. Depending on the expression of the lips, some lips suggest hope for the future, and only the lips are highlighted. Roh expresses the lips in various ways. PROVENANCE: Lilac Gallery Collection. Acquired by the gallery directly from Roh Jae-soon. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.

Kiss of Life. Large Contemporary Mixed Media Abstract Painting
Located in Brecon, Powys
chalk pastels, acrylic paints, spray paints My paintings explore the relationship between elements such as the skies, the oceans, the natural environment such as the formation of rocks, cliffs, and weathered material. In my work, I aim to bring together certain properties of each of these elements to create an experience and understanding of the world and the contrasting relationships between each of these ideas. The use of texture in my work is formed using material which has been subjected to the forces of the weather, and I love to use ‘untouched’ and ‘natural’ material in my work to form the basis of all my paintings. It is the idea of bringing together a number of natural materials in my work that inspires me. The contrast between elements such as the roughness of the texture, the smoothness of the ink or paint. and the reflection of the metallics brings about a composition and structure that is unique. The impact of the weather, space, and seasons has been important in determining the structure of each of the paintings and the way the different elements and materials react to one another. The use of ink in my work has been a work in progress that I have been experimenting with over the past year. The use of this new medium has proved to be invaluable to the message and direction that I would like my work to take. On each of the works, I manipulate the Ink using air from my mouth as I want to form a stronger relationship with the canvas and the way that the ink Is manipulated. I have particularly enjoyed the added contrast which has been created between the variety of mediums being used. Textured mixed media original abstract painting by Rajan Seth.
