Ha Chong-Hyun

Conjunction 24-80

2024

This commanding work belongs to Ha Chong-Hyun's celebrated Conjunction series, which the artist has developed since the 1970s as a meditation on materiality and process. Thick impasto strokes of white oil paint are applied in sweeping horizontal arcs across the raw hemp cloth surface, creating a richly textured relief that captures light and shadow across its sculptural ridges. The visible weave of the hemp ground contrasts with the gestural accumulation of paint, emphasizing the physical and labor-intensive nature of Ha's distinctive technique. The work exemplifies the Dansaekhwa movement's focus on monochromatic restraint, surface tension, and the dialogue between material and mark.
