Artist Biography

Sangho Han, born in Seoul, South Korea in 1991 and currently residing and working in Long Island City, NY, holds a BFA from Gachon University (2016) and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts (2023).
Han believes that "the image (or painting) is an object that must be destroyed at the moment that it is created." His paintings and drawings on canvases and walls resist the temptation to seek permanence of any kind, as they are made and presented with a rough and improvisational quality. The artist seeks authentic voice and vision that is neither western nor traditionally Korean, but of hybrid contemporary and modern languages and styles
His artistic focus lies in exploring the correlation between various materials and his drawing practice, which exhibits a spontaneity akin to free jazz music.
Within his work, figurative and abstract expressionism intersect seamlessly.
Han’s practice is deeply influenced by the history of abstraction, from its origins to abstract expressionism and neo-expressionism, drawing inspiration from artists like Kandinsky, Joan Mitchell, Cy Twombly, and Leon Golub. He sees his art as a continuation of this historical lineage, transcending personal achievement or mere pleasure in painting.

Artist Statement

Paintings are all connected. and also this is all about continuity.
Like Federico Fellini's 8 and 2/1, like Honore de Balzac's the human comedy, I tried to understand everyone I met in my life. And the attempts always failed.
I'm a painter who is interested in the history of abstraction. Currently I'm using different materials such as canvas, woods, paper and walls with my drawing practices.
First of all, drawing and painting on two or three pieces of canvas, wood that have been joined together to make a one piece.
More specifically, I'm working on a 6 ft and 7 inches wood using acrylics, pencils and house paint.
In general, 2-5 canvases are completed in one work, and the work re-arranged depending on the space where they are installed.
As I work, I experience the forms of painting and sculpture together, changing the order of woods or the position of the canvas up and down according to the pictorial space, or putting them back in place. It's a completely different form of working with canvas and it's one of the different experiences I've found within this practice from traditional canvas works.
The figures drawn on the woods are a psychological anecdote of the people I have experienced in New York, and also it is self-portrait.
Divided mark making on a divided screen. The brush strokes are being portrayed in a variety of ways. I make these expressions using pencil, acrylic and house paint. The abstractions are all looking straight ahead. Most of them look at the viewer in frightened, uncomfortable or extremely unpleasant, and I was both the artist and the viewer of these paintings during the progress.
