Sunset Near Llano

Sunset near Llano
Jung Yoon

Price: $2,500.00


Jung Yoon, a Korean artist of masterly proportions celebrates the landscapes of countryside beauty with a work titled: Sunset near Llano. A purview of bluebonnets and lush vegetation, Yoon throws a compositional loop our way. Off to the upper right we see a well worn beaten path, unimportant to the picture; a river mimics the reflective curve and “c” shape of road; creating an artistically haphazard “x”. Instead of the typical horizon line at the center of the composition, Yoon places the skyline higher up; the perspective is contradistinct from his general practice- constructing a bottom heavy pictorial that emphasizes the large field of flowering foliage.

However, minus all this efflorescence lays the heart of this painting- the upper quarter quadrant of seeping sunlight and majestic sun setting. Notice the canary speckled forest, spotted by the radiance emitting from under the cloud cover. Yoon, a maestro of illumination, plugs in more heavenly emotion into the baby blue sky and goldenrod brume than anywhere else in this impressionistic landscape painting. ©

Sunlit Seclusion



M.S. Park

Sunlit Seclusion

36 x 48
Oil
$3,000

M.S. Park was born on August 11, 1951 in Eum-Sung, Chung-Buk Province, South Korea. It wasn’t until he was in his mid 20’s did he gain a mature style and aesthetic; having previously been a hobbyist painter. Park’s depiction of landscape paintings have routinely focused on the changing of the seasons- a crisp autumn air is intuitively depicted through golden leaves with rich red accents; floating effortlessly down into a bubbling brook or heavily down-trodden and worn pathway.

Sunlit Seclusion is a prime example of the ominous riddle, “If a tree falls in the forest and there is no one around to hear it… Does it make a sound?”  Park has illustrated a perfect time and space landscape continuum; we hear the gurgle of the water, the swaying of the leaves in the trees, feel the heat of the sun peaking through the canopy- yet we feel a chill. But is that all happening somewhere and there is not a soul in sight?  Such a reclusive environment does exist in the mind of M.S. Park.  Littered leaves, radiant glows, geodetic substrates, algae adorned water, and various other grandeur environmental identifications coagulate to form a lavishly illustrious landscape that only M. S. Park could execute.
