Conjunction 09-52 2009

Ha Chong-Hyun's 2009 work, "Conjunction 09-52", is a minimalist painting characterized by its striking use of color and texture. The piece features a stark contrast between the white, vertically-oriented lines of the central section and the warm, earthy brown of the surrounding canvas. The lines, which are created by repeated applications of paint, are suggestive of a sense of movement and energy, while the brown backdrop offers a sense of calm and stability. The artwork exemplifies the artist's exploration of abstract forms and textures, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between light and form, and the interplay of opposing elements.
