The Asian Art Museum SF is currently exhibiting Ha Chong-Hyun, a celebrated abstract artist from Korea. What inspired me was his process of pushing paint through burlap, creating patterns on both sides of the medium. Watching a video of his process, it reminded me of the physicality of painting and creating ground-breaking artwork.
In tribute to Ha Chong-Hyun, here is my sketch that incorporates both sides of the paper in my sketchbook and a mini-process of pushing patterns from the back to the front.
