A contemplative exploration of the work of Yun Hyongkeun, a renowned Korean abstract painter, during a transformative period in the early 1980sA contemplative exploration of the work of Yun Hyongkeun, a renowned Korean abstract painter, during a transformative period in Paris in the early 1980sHis brushstrokes bled naturally across the linen or cotton raw canvasappearing light brown as its fabric was not bleachedreminiscent of traditional East Asian calligraphy or ink and wash paintings. The Korea TimesFrom 1980 to 1982, Yun Hyongkeun resided in Paris, seeking both peace from the violent political turmoil that exploded in South Korea in 1980 and a new, artistic center in which to create work. His brief but illuminating stay in the city became the locus of his freedom of expression.Yuns signature abstract compositions engage and transcend Eastern and Western art movements and visual traditions, establishing him as one of the most significant artists of the twentieth century. He is the most prominent figure associated with the Dansaekhwa (monochrome painting) movement, the name given to a group of influential Korean artists from the 1960s and 1970s. Using a restricted palette of ultramarine and umber, Yun created his compositions of monolithic swathes by adding layer upon layer of paint to raw canvas or linen and to hanji (Korean mulberry paper), often applying the next coat before the one below had dried.Published on the occasion of the artists exhibition at David Zwirner, Paris, in 2023, this limitedrun clothbound catalogue focuses on his paintings and works on hanji made in Paris. In an accompanying text, the art historian Oh Gwangsu considers Yuns work prior to his move to Paris, particularly the artists shift toward his signature works in the 1970s. The writer Mara Hoberman reflects on Yuns practice and influences upon his arrival in the European capital, including an examination of his more nuanced understanding of the color black, which takes on different meanings in France and Korea.
