Song Hyun-Sook (born 1952), Painting, '5 Brush-strokes', 2007
Est: €6,400 - €8,000
Egg tempera on canvas Germany, 2007 Song Hyun-Sook (born 1952) - Korean painter Verso titled, dated and signed "5 Pinselstriche 2007 Hyun-Sook Song", as well as inscribed in Korean Overall dimensions: 80.5 x 100.5 cm Very good condition Provenance: private collection, Hamburg, Germany Paintings by Song Hyun-Sook are characterized by her minimalist style and their high symbolic value; the auction record for her works amounts to 36,000 Euros Object is regular taxed. Differential taxation is not possible. The present painting is a sensual work of the Korean artist Song Hyun-Sook and was executed, as the title tells us on the verso, with five brush strokes onto the monochrome, greenish brown surface of the canvas. Song Hyun-Sook's works are characterized by a unique painting technique, as the artist only uses a few, consciously rendered brush strokes and rather monochrome, earthy tones. Hereby, the documentation of the painting process is of central importance, as Song Hyun-Sook entitles each of her paintings with the exact number of strokes needed to complete the painting. Conceptually, the artist is interested in combining Western and Eastern elements of art in her paintings. For this reason she uses the pigments of egg tempera as a medium which was often used in Western medieval art. At the same time, she applies the paint with coarse, stiff-bristled brushes made of horse hair, which were traditionally used in Korea for painting ceramics in the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1897). The painting is in very good condition. There are slight marks visible at the edges of the canvas. Besides, the paint surface shows a very thin, bright stripe at the lower left side. The work is titled, dated and signed "5 Pinselstriche 2007 Hyun-Sook Song", as well as inscribed in Korean. The stretcher measures 80.5 x 100.5 cm. Song Hyun-Sook (born 1952) The South Korean artist Song Hyun-Sook is known for her minimalist paintings which are usually executed with only a few brushstrokes. At the age of 20, Song Hyun-Sook moved to Germany, where she discovered her passion for painting almost accidentally. From 1976 to 1981 she studied at the Academy of Arts in Hamburg, followed by her studies of Korean art history at the Chonnam National University in Gwangju, Korea. She then returned to Hamburg and has since worked as an artist, illustrator and documentary filmmaker. In her paintings, the artist intends to combine Western and Eastern elements of art. For this purpose, she applies materials and techniques of both cultures, rendering their symbolic value to her works. Examples of her paintings are located at the Kunstmuseum in Bern, at the Hamburger Kunsthalle, at the Leeum-Samsung Museum of Modern Art in Korea and the Fukuoka Asian Art Museum in Japan.
