About the Item
Mixed media on canvas 91 x 116.8 cm (35.8 x 46 in)
Kwon Ji-an’s Humming Letter #95 is an immersive expression of movement and color, a vibrant extension of her celebrated Humming Letter series. This piece translates the energy of sound into a dynamic landscape of texture and emotion, embodying the artist’s signature fusion of music and painting.
The composition is a symphony of warm hues—lush pinks, radiant yellows, and deep greens—blending into a field of expressive brushstrokes that evoke the vibrancy of a blooming meadow. Above this textured expanse, a serene sky unfolds in soft blues, its surface enriched by Kwon’s signature calligraphic script, seamlessly integrated into the upper portion of the painting.
Kwon’s technique of applying paint directly with her hands results in a tactile surface, where every swirl and mark carries a sense of immediacy. The thick impasto layers create a sculptural effect, making light interact with the work in a way that shifts and evolves depending on perspective and illumination. The interplay of abstraction and suggestion allows the viewer to engage with the painting on both an emotional and sensory level.
Kwon Ji-an’s Humming Letter series has gained significant recognition for its ability to bridge the gap between auditory and visual experiences. Humming Letter #95 exemplifies this artistic vision, offering a composition that feels both expansive and intimate. The expressive texture and fluid movement make this piece particularly compelling for collectors who value works that convey emotion through form.
The painting’s scale enhances its presence, making it a striking focal point in any space. As Kwon Ji-an continues to establish herself as a leading figure in contemporary abstraction, acquiring a work from this evolving series is an opportunity to engage with her artistic journey in a meaningful way.
This mixed-media painting is in pristine condition, professionally maintained to preserve the richness of its colors and the integrity of its textured surface. The paint layers are expertly built, creating a depth that enhances the immersive quality of the piece. Its tactile surface invites close observation, revealing subtle details and nuanced shifts in tone.
Kwon Ji-an’s evolution from music to fine art has shaped her unique approach to painting, where sound and movement become inseparable elements of her creative process. The Humming Letter series serves as a visual representation of melodies and emotions, each work functioning as an artistic interpretation of resonance and harmony. Since her first solo exhibition in 2012, Kwon has continued to refine her expressive style, gaining recognition for her ability to translate intangible experiences into powerful visual narratives.
This piece is a compelling addition to any collection, offering a harmonious blend of expressive abstraction and emotional resonance. Its layered composition and tactile energy make it a work that not only captures attention but also invites deeper contemplation.
