Kick off Asia Week New York 2012 (March 16-24) with the works of internationally recognized artists Park Jihyun and Lee Inchin. Using incense to burn thousands of tiny holes onto rice paper, Park practices reverse-pointillism, puncturing the paper’s fragile surface with tiny marks and thereby subtracting rather than adding dots of paint and color. Lee’s masterful employment of the traditional wood-firing kiln and ash yield ceramics with a spectrum of colors ranging from yellow to bright orange, red-brown to black. Lee’s ceramics and Park’s incense work harness the creative and destructive power of fire, smoke, and ash. Curated in cooperation with Jiyoung Koo and KooNewYork.
