The Yuns, each a highly recognized artist in their South Korea homeland, joined together to produce works that convey unique and powerful artistic expressions. In an inspired amalgam of ancient Asian papermaking techniques knowns as “Han-ji” and modern Western abstraction, the Yuns make their own singular artistic mark. Working with organic materials of their childhood in South Korea holds powerful meaning for the Yuns as artists. By offering this hands-on ancient and natural tradition to the viewer in the form of an abstraction they have found a way to provide a visceral experience of home.
