Jae Hyuk Han

The abstract paintings of Jae Hyuk Han(b. 1993-)  evoke concentration via visual impression. Dissolving paper in liquid to return it to its primitive properties, Han uses various processes to re-create small objets that are then arrayed in a repetitive manner to form a whole. Through this simple, straightforward, almost meditative labor, the artist produces a surface of pure forms that guides us toward a process of contemplation in our own right. With these works, Han hopes to provide an opportunity for others to take a break from the controlled familiarity of their daily lives to focus on what lies within the self, if only for a moment.
