Han Interprets Korean Modernism Within The Western Context And Vice Versa – Western Modernism Within The Far Eastern Cultural Context. He Incorporates Traditional Values And
Methodologies, Such As Perspective And Chiaroscuro Of The West, And Chun
(Passage And Grid) From The East. He Blends Eastern Isometric Perspective With
Traditional Western Linear Perspective Painting To Create A Fusion Of Both Depth And
Flatness, And Then Apply Calligraphic Principles To Recreate New Pictorial Images. In
His Works, Han Mixes Two Cultural Genes Together. The Images Of The Street Include
Cars, Buildings, Lights, Etc. And The Mosaics Of Fragmented Color Are Masterfully
Demonstrated On The Canvas. Han Repeatedly Superimposes And Substitutes
Structures And Images By Overlapped Lines Of Contours. The Images, The Whole
Drama Of The Surface Come Under The Relationship Of Deconstruction Resulted From
The Effective Usage Of Various Grids. At The Same Time, Eastern Conventional
Calligraphic Methodology Has Been Employed As A Key Element In Han’s Painting: 1)
Hieroglyphic Images Correspond With Structure And Meaning. 2) Signified Becomes
Signifier. 3) Meaning Correlates With Form Resulting In An Altered Sense Of Totality,
Providing Both Irony And Ambivalence. 4) Calligraphic Gesture Creates Action. 5) Binary
Opposition Issues Transform Into New Perceptions. There Are Continuous Processes Of
Forms Deconstructed And Reconstructed Of Their Meanings Occurring Between The
Elements Of Hues, Gradation, Textures, Strokes, Broken Lines, Etc. Han Creates His
Own Form Of Pictorial Hieroglyphs. He Highlights The Drama Of His Paintings By
Introducing Dots On Dots, Orchestrating A Symphony With A Theme – A Synthesis Of
Opposites: A) Figure/Ground; B) Image/Structure; C) Signifier/Signified; D)
Internal/External; E) Language/Being; F) Perspective/Flatness. Together, These
Ambivalent Elements Are Converging Into One Single Totality. Han Is A Formalist And
Multicultural Pluralist. He Has Searched For New Generative Sources Within A Global
Cultural Context In Order To Invent A New Way Of Making An Art Form From His Past
And Present, Which, In Art Vernacular, Can Be Deemed Modernist, Post-Modernist, Or
Neoclassical Modernist. Perhaps A Better Way Of Saying This Is That He Is A “Genetic
Engineer In The Painting”. Exhibitions: 2003 Atelier International Art Group, New York
