Untitled 1981

Kim Tschang-yeul's "Untitled" from 1981 is a minimalist painting that exemplifies his signature style. The artwork depicts a field of raindrops on a neutral, possibly concrete, background. The simple composition, composed of only water droplets and their reflections, allows the viewer to focus on the beauty of everyday occurrences. The artist's meticulous brushstrokes create a sense of realism and evoke a sense of calm, serenity, and contemplation. His works are often associated with the Dansaekhwa movement, a Korean art movement that emphasized simplicity, purity, and a focus on the materiality of the painting.
