This artwork is created by Song Su-Nam in 1979.
The art piece is created using ink on paper. The piece has vertical brush strokes of ink that have softened edges. It was created on wet paper. The form also relates to the content, which is abstract and formal, Black and charcoal gray mixing ink. The art’s context is also rooted deeply in tradition. It has various shades of black and gray. The forms drawn overlaps each other and there is a sense of shallow space.
The fact that the art piece was created using ink and paper is very important. Song did not want to use oil paint because it was western and would not represent what he was trying to achieve well. That is why he used the traditional east Asian style of using ink.
