"From All Sides: Tansaekhwa on Abstraction" @ Blum & Poe








































Wonderfully complex in their simplicity, I couldn't quite tell if these paintings were historical (then) or now, or somewhere in between. I guess I prefer the latter.  Alas, I did not get a chance to capture any of the works on paper, which were my favorite.  They were so simultaneously fragile and powerful in their embrace and resolution of time.  Perhaps, it was the internal, dual natures of all the works in this show that were so compelling.  Irregular process/pattern, exterior/interior, light/heavy all with a keen sense towards subtlety and texture.  See the gallery website for installation shots here.
