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.
