Burnt Umber and Ultramarine

"Burnt Umber and Ultramarine" by Yun Hyong-keun exemplifies his mastery of Color field painting within the abstract art movement. Using oil paints on linen, Yun employs smearing techniques with earthy burnt umber and vibrant ultramarine blue to evoke a Korean sensibility of reflection and meditation. The raw canvas emphasizes a textured, meditative surface, reflecting Yun’s association with the Dansaekhwa movement and his focus on the contemplative power of abstract forms.
