Burnt Umber & Ultramarine I 1981

"Burnt Umber & Ultramarine I" is a 1981 abstract painting by Korean artist Yun Hyong-keun (1928-2007). The painting is characterized by its minimalist composition, featuring three rectangular shapes rendered in shades of burnt umber and ultramarine against a light background. The soft edges and subtle variations in color evoke a sense of depth and atmosphere, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between form and space. This artwork, alongside Yun's other work, exemplify his mastery of monochromatism and his ability to create powerful and evocative imagery through seemingly simple means.
