Work 74-05 1975

"Work 74-05" (1975) by Korean artist Ha Chong-Hyun (b. 1935) is a prime example of his signature style. This abstract painting features a dense field of white brushstrokes on a brown canvas. The marks are layered and overlapping, creating a textured surface that evokes a sense of depth. Chong-Hyun's work often explores the relationship between paint, canvas, and the act of making art, highlighting the physicality of the process. This minimalist, monochromatic piece allows the viewer to focus on the tactile quality and rhythm of the brushstrokes, inviting contemplation and a deeper understanding of the artist's process.
