the artist...

Han's works are deeply emotional and psychological explorations of the everyday; abstracted in the form of paintings, metal sculptures, and mixed media.  Han’s pieces distill the subtle and often unconscious impressions, observations, and reactions to the complexities of urban life and daily human interactions. The undercurrent of most of his art explores the often implicit and unspoken harshness and beauty of fleeting everyday moments. Often he juxtaposes and layers dreamy, whimsical images with hard and seemingly unmalleable materials to illicit the idea of balance, movement, and complexity inherent in transitory moments, thoughts, actions that can be experienced throughout the course of a typical day.  Han’s works bring into focus the inner workings of a mind attempting to make sense and find beauty in the moments that make up a moment, a day, an experience.  Han’s works were exhibited in San Francisco and in Los Angeles.  Han received Bachelor of Fine Art in Experimental Animation from California Institute of the Arts in 1997 and Bachelor of Science in Bioengineering and Visual Arts from the University of California, San Diego in 1995.

my work...
The images I create are by-products of my everyday experiences and human interactions.  I strive to seek and express the beauty that surrounds me; sensing and observing it in the form of visual abstractions.  I approach my art work as if I were entering an uncharted area.  The world I see is in perpetual motion, tossing and churning.  My paintings and sculptures are like traces I leave behind while wondering through the unknown world seeking my way back to a sense of the familiar.  In my art works, I celebrate the nostalgic and aching journey to a world beyond the horizon.
