Ha Chong-Hyun — Conjunction 24-25
Ha Chong-Hyun

Conjunction 24-25

2024

Conjunction 24 to 25 presents a densely textured surface in vivid red, executed in oil on hemp cloth. The composition consists of rhythmic, gestural brushstrokes that layer horizontally across the canvas, creating an intricate pattern of overlapping marks that suggest movement and accumulation. The impasto technique builds a sculptural quality, with the paint application creating subtle variations in tone and depth across the monochromatic field. This work exemplifies Ha Chong Hyun's distinctive approach to abstraction, which emerges from his engagement with Korean materiality and the tactile possibilities of traditional hemp support. The painting bridges Eastern artistic traditions with contemporary abstract painting, emphasizing process, repetition, and the expressive potential of surface.
