Kwon Ji-an’s Humming Letter #97 is a captivating work that transforms sound into a visual experience, part of her celebrated Humming Letter series. This piece carries the rhythmic energy of music, where color, texture, and movement converge to create a composition that is both expressive and deeply immersive.
The dominant palette of layered blues, accented by hints of yellow, green, and red, evokes the fluidity of water and the shifting nature of sound waves. Kwon’s signature technique—painting with her hands rather than traditional brushes—imbues the work with a raw, organic motion, where each gesture carries an unfiltered emotional depth. The thick impasto creates a sculptural quality, making the painting feel alive as it interacts with light and perspective.
