Abstract Black and White Photography

ABSTRACT STYLE

Beginning in the early 20th century, abstract art became a leading style of modernism. Rather than portray the world in a way that represented reality, as had been the dominating style of Western art in the previous centuries, abstract paintings, prints and sculptures are marked by a shift to geometric forms, gestural shapes and experimentation with color to express ideas, subject matter and scenes.

Although abstract art flourished in the early 1900s, propelled by movements like Fauvism and Cubism, it was rooted in the 19th century. In the 1840s, J.M.W. Turner emphasized light and motion for atmospheric paintings in which concrete details were blurred, and Paul Cézanne challenged traditional expectations of perspective in the 1890s.

Some of the earliest abstract artists — Wassily Kandinsky and Hilma af Klint — expanded on these breakthroughs while using vivid colors and forms to channel spiritual concepts. Painter Piet Mondrian, a Dutch pioneer of the art movement, explored geometric abstraction partly owing to his belief in Theosophy, which is grounded in a search for higher spiritual truths and embraces philosophers of the Renaissance period and medieval mystics. Black Square, a daringly simple 1913 work by Russian artist Kazimir Malevich, was a watershed statement on creating art that was free “from the dead weight of the real world,” as he later wrote.

Surrealism in the 1920s, led by artists such as Salvador Dalí, Meret Oppenheim and others, saw painters creating abstract pieces in order to connect to the subconscious. When Abstract Expressionism emerged in New York during the mid-20th century, it similarly centered on the process of creation, in which Helen Frankenthaler’s expressive “soak-stain” technique, Jackson Pollock’s drips of paint, and Mark Rothko’s planes of color were a radical new type of abstraction.

Conceptual art, Pop art, Hard-Edge painting and many other movements offered fresh approaches to abstraction that continued into the 21st century, with major contemporary artists now exploring it, including Anish Kapoor, Mark Bradford, El Anatsui and Julie Mehretu.

Black & White Photography "Brutalism -Barbican Centre, London No5", 2019
Located in London, GB
Hsu Yun Chin is a multidisciplinary artist who holds a BA in Fine Art Photography from Emily Carr University and an MA from the Royal College of Art. She is a member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors and has had international exhibitions and publications. Her work mainly focuses on sculpture and photography and combines her technical skills with a natural creative ability to explore themes such as body sculpture, religion, culture, and philosophy to create a unique narrative and meaning in her symbolic and personal works. "The Barbican Centre of London photomontages by Hsu show no longer a space of unity and yet, we get lost in it. The carved self-portraits of Hsu are split up. Why do they have multiple faces? It looks like Hsu sees her breaks in the brutalist architecture of the Barbican, this huge complex of concrete and bricks, built in the 1980s, with such steep lines. Are the face we offer to ourself and the face we offer to others united and true? What and where is our real true face?" Alexandra Jaffré

 French Art Historian and author
 Belgian-based Art Book Publisher Hsu Yun Chin is a multi-faceted Artist who lives and works in London. Her background is one that has been immersed in various art forms, most predominantly - though not exclusively - in Sculpture and Photography. Mixing this learned process of craftsmanship with a natural affinity, Hsu Yun Chin then seeks to segue initial intrigue and ongoing fascination of the process of creation into various artisan productivity. Beginning with her photographer’s perspective regarding the captured image of the object or still life in question, then exploring into other avenues of expression. The innovation is enhanced and influenced by many factors. These include ‘body sculpture’, religion, culture and philosophy. All of which brings to the fore a distinct narrative and reasoning for a more symbolic and personal body of work. Hsu Yun Chin holds a BA in Fine Art Photography from Emily Carr Art and Design University, Canada and an MA from the Royal College of Art, London. She is also a member of Royal British Society of Sculptors. Her works have been exhibited and published internationally. Measurement: 100X100cm This photograph is sold unframed.
