to draw and paint: Sun K Kwak

Office Supplies made gorgeous.

Korean artist Sun K. Kwak recently opened her show Enfolding 280 Hours in the Brooklyn Museum's Rotunda. Kwak arranged black masking tape on the walls of the rotunda and then ripped it, allowing her force and the material to have an equal hand in the composition. Kwak says she started using the tape as a means to portray a more direct expression. The work smears across the walls of the rotunda like oil spills on the wind. Her work is not painting nor drawing, but, somehow, it is simultaneously both.
