Hyunyoung OH

The original new landscape painting of barcodes that is impossible in real life but possible only in imagination. Perhaps Hyunyoung OH’s (b.1949) work will be remembered as the only landscape painter who calls for restoration of humanity in the landscape of contemporary art and who integrated it into the landscape painting in the language of art. “No artist in the history
of landscape painting has expressed nature like this that can be viewed contemplatively in a view of landscape painting structure”, as critic Choi Kwang-jin pointed out. She will be regarded as Korea’s first fusion artist who is unique and experimental in adding text and form on a modern landscape painting.
