Overview
One of the few artists today producing fresh, vital work in the Impressionist style, and trained in painting in Seoul, Korea and New York, Oh Chi Gyun's richly textured paintings of landscapes and streetscapes impart a distinct mood, whether scenes of the American Southwest, New York City or a country village in Korea. As author Richard Vine writes, "Oh defines landscape not by its physical components but by the mental traces they leave on our feelings and intellect. He transports to the picture plane emblems of actuality, those fractured, shimmering constructs of color, that are meant to be seen through, so that the underlying structures and rhythms of our perception become self evident." Deeply moved by the landscapes he comes across, Oh translates the effect into his work. It is Oh's singular technique, painting not with brushes but with strokes of his hands, that lends the deliberate touch to his views of an opulent light-saturated avenue of Manhattan or the simplicity of a Korean provincial town. As art critic Raul Zamudio states," with the work of Oh Chi-Gyun we become distinctly aware that we are invited to immerse ourselves [in] timelessness at its best." AUTHOR: Richard Vine is an art historian and also Managing Editor of Art in America magazine. Raul Zamudio, is a New York City-based independent curator and art critic. SELLING POINTS: Over 90 color plates show the many layers this Korean artist uses to bring alive his subjects An interview with the artist brings insight into the many works presented Of interest to collectors of Impressionist and landscape art, as well as contemporary Asian and American art 185 colour & 3 b/w illustrations
