Intricate Watercolor Paper Sculptures By Timothy Hyunsoo Lee

Jessica Jungbauer — Wed, 16 Sep 2015 19:00:15 +0000

Korean artist Timothy Hyunsoo Lee creates intricate sculptures made of paper. Based in Brooklyn, his site-specific installation ‘Gookeyes‘ features folded pieces of paper with watercolor-painted eyes. Working in the field of sculptures as well as paintings, the artist creates a contrasting juxtaposition between the two mediums in a delicate way. On the inspiration behind his artworks, Hyunsoo Lee says: “A closer view of each cell, however, reveals that each mark is a moment captured – filled with emotional weight. In being immersed in a sea of moments, the viewer simultaneously experiences both the passage and arresting of time.”

Artist Amy Park Explores The Architecture Of New York City Through Watercolor Paintings

Jessica Jungbauer — Fri, 24 Jul 2015 09:00:07 +0000

Artist Amy Park captures the distinct architecture of New York City through watercolor paintings. Whether it’s the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building or Lower Manhattan, Park is able to portray the city from a unique point of view through repetitive pencil marks and precise watercolor strokes. During a flight down the Hudson River in her family’s 40-year-old private plane, she was able to experience the city among the skyscrapers while taking hundreds of photos at flight speed that would later turn into the idea of using watercolors. In a city of constant change, the large scale paintings document New York City’s ongoing transformation.

Henrietta Harris Shows Her First Solo Show ‘The Hum’

Caroline Kurze — Wed, 20 May 2015 12:36:08 +0000

We’ve introduced artist Henrietta Harris previously on iGNANT now she got in touch, pointing focus on her latest works that she just showed in her first solo exhibition called ‘The Hum’ at Robert Fontaine Gallery. We’re really glad to see that she’s doing so well with her deconstructed watercolor paintings which we loved right from the start.

Here a little excerpt from the catalogue: “Harris’s paintings are often described as ‘deconstructed portraiture,’ and draw focus on the hesitant figures she paints with deliberate glitches in their form. Harris’s new work highlights less the individual, and instead the forms a person inhabits metaphorically. Her paintings are wet, and alive.”

Illustrations By Carmel Seymour

Caroline Kurze — Wed, 20 Aug 2014 13:25:25 +0000

With her watercolor/crayon illustrations, Carmel Seymour is delving into the boundless realm of imagination. Carmel herself describes her art as ‘Feeling the mystery of the world, the way you do without all the answers.’ With that in mind, it’s no wonder we find comfort within the whimsy of her brushstrokes and pencil shadings. In her art, we don’t have to know the answers, we don’t have to know the ending, it’s all about the journey, the story, the narrative.
