Butterflies – Van Gogh

2013

Kim Dong Yoo's "Butterflies – Van Gogh" is an acrylic work on linen that engages in a contemporary dialogue with the Post Impressionist master's legacy through the subject of butterflies, delicate motifs that appear throughout Van Gogh's own body of work. The painting likely employs bold color and expressive brushwork characteristic of both the source of inspiration and the artist's own practice. By choosing linen as the support and acrylic as the medium, Dong Yoo creates a work that bridges traditional painting grounds with modern materials to explore themes of nature and artistic lineage.
