Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This minimalist abstract painting features a composition of black brushstrokes against a predominantly white background. The irregularly placed, vertical strokes create a sense of movement and energy, contrasting with the serene, monochromatic palette. The artist appears to have used a gestural, expressive approach, emphasizing the materiality of the paint and the process of its application. This work exemplifies the abstract expressionist style, reflecting the artist's spontaneous and intuitive creative process. The simplicity of the composition invites the viewer to contemplate the interplay of form, line, and negative space. ...

Artist
Oh Sufan
B.1946

Oh Sufan is a Korean Abstract painter, who blends both Eastern and Western influences within his large-scale paintings. With an interest in capturing the act of painting rather than focusing on a specific aesthetic outcome, each work bears the traces of his playful interactions with paint. Bold brushstrokes and swathes of colour meet more intentional, calligraphic or primordial symbols, developing a distinctive visual vocabulary for the artist to work with. He has a particular interest in existentialism, phenomenology, structuralism and semiotics, in addition to the teachings of Laozi, Zhuangzi and the Chinese classics. Often working with his eyes closed, Oh Sufan will draw on this rich array of philosophical readings, visually digesting these texts on the canvas. This merging of creativity and consciousness gives each work an incredibly expressive tone, as myriad sources collide with Oh Sufan’s own intuition. Although these works undoubtedly engage with the lineage of Abstract Expressionism, Oh Sufan has carved an arresting and joyful visual lexicon of his own to deliver these bold works of art. ...
