Innovative approach to documenting

the temporal beauty of nature

Hans Hofmann mused, “Creation is dominated by three absolutely different factors: First,
nature, which works upon us by its laws; second, the artist, who creates а spiritual contact with
nature and his materials; third, the medium of expression through which the artist translates
his inner world.”

Following this credo, Korean artist Ryu Youngshin’s abstracted expressionist style illustrates the
power and beauty of nature. Focusing on vivid color and integrated texture, her mixed media
paintings evoke the visceral power of nature. Impressed and fascinated by the landscape and
its elements, Ms. Youngshin’s dazzling compositions pulsate with an emotional bravura and are
passionate reflections revealing her personal perceptions of nature.

Rather than re-creating a landscape on a canvas, Young-Shin’s paintings are an investigation
into representations of what nature means to humans. Filtered through an expressive abstract
vision and a creative imagination, Ryu Youngshin captures the vast expanses of nature,
bringing the vibrancy of landscapes to life with dynamic brushwork and thick paint application.

Passionately responding to the sublime majesty of the environment, Ms. Youngshin invites
viewers to experience the majesty of natural terrain, carefully highlighted by magnificent
color and masterful renderings of the lush land. Viscerally exploring new natural realms, she
adroitly illuminates the constant evolution of nature, featuring a parallax vision. With a magical
transformation, vibrant hues of color become fluidly organic, echoing the landscapes that
inspired each composition.

It is this visual dynamism that rushes through the picture plane, saturating the audience in a
dynamic burst of dazzling hues. Cascades of paint follow a rhythmic cadence of brushstroke, as
Ryu Youngshin’s abstracted canvases resonate as much with passion as with hue, emphatically
communicating the raw, visceral power of the magnificence of the organic world.

Virtuosically coating her canvas, her compositions lend a richly nuanced texture to her
innovative approach to documenting the temporal beauty of nature. Creating lively
