Based on traditional Korean color schemes known as obangsaek and ogansaek (green, light blue, bright red, sulfur yellow, and violet), The “Mountain and Island” series presents variegated expressions of lines that characterize mountains and islands. Obangsaek, an alluring palette of hues comprising yellow, blue, red, white and black, is an essential part of Korea’s traditional color culture that embodies the harmony and integration of yin and yang as well as the principles of nature. An unhinged amalgamation of real and recalled scenery painted in the language of colors, “Mountain and Island” sings of hope through its dreamy yet warm vibes. Reminiscent of saekdong (traditional multicolored stripes) and sometimes rainbows, the artwork’s unique combination of hues and the innate texture of ottchil (Korean lacquer) conjure up our yearning to soar again.
