Justin Yoon — And White It’s Going Along
Justin Yoon

And White It’s Going Along

2023

"And White It's Going Along" presents a meditation on surface and depth, where Justin Yoon layers acrylic, acrylic gouache, and glitter across a precisely square canvas to produce a composition that shifts in character depending on the light it catches. The glitter embedded throughout the work is never decorative in a superficial sense. It functions instead as an activating agent, disrupting the matte opacity of the gouache with flickers of reflection that draw the viewer into a sustained looking. The square format reinforces this quality of self-containment, framing the painting as a complete and closed world that nonetheless feels animated from within. Yoon's practice engages with questions of perception and surface honesty, inviting collectors to consider how a painting communicates across time and changing conditions. The title, with its grammatically drifting syntax, mirrors the visual experience of the work itself, something in process, something observed while still in motion. The 2023 date places this piece within a productive recent period in Yoon's development, where his formal decisions have grown increasingly confident and his material combinations more deliberately layered in effect. At 101.6 by 101.6 centimeters, the work holds a commanding presence without dominating a room, making it well-suited to both intimate domestic settings and more formal collecting environments. Currently available through Yiwei Gallery, "And White It's Going Along" is offered signed by the artist, representing a meaningful point of entry into a practice that rewards long-term attention and repeated encounter.
