"Conjunction 77-17" (1977) is a minimalist abstract painting by Korean artist Ha Chong-Hyun. The work consists of a single, earthy brown color, rendered in a textured, almost tactile surface. The artist's signature technique of applying multiple layers of paint and then scraping away portions reveals the raw canvas beneath, creating a dynamic interplay between smooth and rough surfaces. This piece exemplifies Ha Chong-Hyun's exploration of the essential qualities of painting, emphasizing materiality and process over representational imagery.
