Portraitist Korea
Yoo Junghyun
1973
Jung-Hyun Yoo is a contemporary korean artist. For him paintings are a chapter in which one is able to explore both psychological and physical depths. The ink spatters are part of a process which divides the background and the subject which is marked as a 'boundary making' procedure. The stains of coincidence, embracing the black fragments to rub, wipe, supplement, and adorn are Yu Jung Hyun’s process of making a 'warm skin'. Besides the interior and the exterior, the figure and the background, the visual and cognitive conflict and contrast grant the forms a pictorial existence. The characteristics of his work is that it conveys a print-like appearance and that they are drawn on a unique textured surface.
