Suctioned Oil on Canvas, 30 x 40 inches By Jeeone Han, 2024
"Suctioned" is a bold oil painting that blends traditional Korean symbolism with modern art. Featuring an octopus, shrimp, and frog—common figures in Korean culture but less familiar in the West—the piece explores themes of transformation and resilience. The creatures are depicted with vivid colors, almost as if they are being "suctioned" into the canvas. Han’s work invites viewers to discover the beauty of cultural contrasts, offering a fresh perspective on nature and heritage.
