Burnt Umber Ultramarine Blue — Fine Art

Burnt Umber Ultramarine Blue - 2007 by Yun Hyong-keun shows broad bands of dark pigment set against a pale ground. The paint spreads in steady horizontal layers, with the umber and blue tones meeting in the middle. A quiet order holds the surface.

This fine art print sits inside a frame with a back panel. The matte finish lets the deep greens and blues look flat and even, without shine catching the light.

It works on a hallway wall near a coat rack, where the long colour bands line up with the floorboards. From there the eye reads the dark layers as one slow step after another.
