Wind that Blows From the East: Opening Reception

Shatto Gallery is pleased to present Wind that Blows from the East - Utopia, paintings by artist Wang Yeul, his first solo exhibition in Los Angeles. Wang, a pioneer of Korean traditional landscape painting, deconstructs traditional landscapes while embracing and reinterpreting some of its distinctive elements. He experiments with the effects of new types of line delineation using new materials such as acrylic, gesso, gold dust, silver dust, and varnish, as well as cloth-based ink, maximizing the effects of conventional brush lines on a background applied with these mixed materials.
