Jaeyeol Han

Hans painting style intruiges me. It's very sculptural; very controlled. I like the way he drags out the splodges of paint and makes, somehow, the splodge that you would not initially believe it to be, a face. You can tell by the shape, the way he maybe accidentally created the shape of ears on either side, somehow you can distinguish this from being just a mess, to a genuine face. 

I adore how his illustrative pieces become a sculpture, then they become a photography piece. The transition between it going from an illustrative piece, to a sculpture is based on the impact through nature and the way the wind moves the image. But then because he takes a photo, the illustrative piece is suddenly a photography piece. It's well edited and make to compliment the centre point of the illustration/sculpture.

This is an example of another set of scenery than Han uses. The raw public setting makes the illustration a bigger part of it's surrounding. I love that it looks lonely - like an abandoned area and the centre piece is the illustration which makes me feel somewhat comfortable with looking at it in it's state. It has a very calm ora about this image.

This one is more recognisable for a face. You begin to see the definition of the face and the way the face is grasped through the contrast in colours on top of each other. I love the light and dark area's because Han used negative colours such as blues and deep reds and brown for the areas that would usually be the shadowed area of a face. The yellow and lighter shades are a good way to highlight the areas that are of brighter.
