Kyu-Baik Hwang
The Morning Star

About the Item

Baik Hwang’s “The Morning Star” is an evocative archival print that blends ancient symbolism with contemporary abstraction, creating a piece that resonates with spiritual and cosmic themes. This work is part of a limited edition of 100, specifically numbered 65 of 100, and measures 30 x 38 inches (76.2 x 96.5 cm). Although in distressed condition, the artwork carries a unique charm, with the wear adding to its historical allure and depth. The composition of “The Morning Star” is a fascinating interplay of color and form, with Hwang employing a sophisticated palette of blues, reds, and earth tones to create a celestial narrative. The print is structured with a series of abstract shapes and intricate patterns that seem to flow from one section to another, almost as if charting a journey through the cosmos. The title suggests a connection to celestial bodies, perhaps evoking the idea of Venus or the first light of dawn, guiding travelers both literal and metaphorical. Hwang's use of texture and layered imagery gives the work a dimensional quality, inviting the viewer to explore its details and uncover its mysteries. The distressed condition of the print, while evident, adds a layer of history and authenticity, suggesting a piece that has weathered time and carried with it stories of the past. The patina of age enhances the sense of antiquity, making the artwork feel like a relic from another era. “The Morning Star” is a visually and conceptually rich work that will captivate collectors who appreciate art that delves into themes of mysticism, the cosmos, and the human journey. Its combination of abstract forms and symbolic content makes it a standout piece in any collection, offering a window into the artist's unique vision of the universe. Despite its distressed condition, this print remains a powerful and compelling work of art, filled with meaning and beauty.
