Zin Helena Song
Trapezium origami #7 - Bright Purple Pink and Grey Sculptural Painting on Wood

2015

About the Item

mixed media on wood, acrylic paint 12" x 6.5" x 6" 2015 In this piece, Zin Helena Song creates a trapezoidal prism made of wood, and paints neon colors on top of it. This shape somehow inherently evokes urban life, and the bright neon strip of pink on the front side looks like the neon signs outside of shops late at night. The title of her work "Origami” reflects the combination of geometry and playfulness as well as complex influences from Western modernism to Asian paper folding traditions. Zin Helena Song was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1983 and completed her undergraduate studies there at the Kook Min University before traveling to New York, where she earned her MFA from L.I.U. Post. Song is a painter whose highly technical pieces layer hard-edged abstraction on top of meticulously created supports. She creates each uniquely shaped panel by hand to augment the crisp geometric lines of her vivid and pastel color planes. The visual complexity of her compositions is diagrammed according to her notions of order and multiplicity in modern urban society. She creates ethereal geometric sculptures from wood and canvas. She is currently based in South Korea. Her work is heavily rooted in her use of color, space, structure and geometry and how they interact on a shaped canvas. She sees in her work a similarity and mirroring of the natural phenomenon of society and life. Every color she chooses, and shape she uses, is connected to each other, and becomes synergistic, much like society.
