Umber Black — Fine Art

Umber Black - 1974 shows wide dark bands running across a pale paper ground. The marks look like diluted ink or oil, with edges that stay slightly uneven. Yun Hyong-keun worked in a Korean abstract style that builds tone from repeated wash layers.

This fine art print sits set in a frame with a back panel, and the ready to hang option brings it assembled to your door. The matte surface holds the dark tones without shine, so the layered bands read flat against the light paper.

It hangs on a hallway landing wall where the evening light comes from a side window. From the stair you see the broad dark strips first, and closer up the slight unevenness of each edge.
