In Light with In Kyoung Chun and Steven L. Anderson is an immersion into the ethereal beauty of nature, skillfully interpreted by these Contemporary visionaries.
The loose watercolors by Chun feature expansive vistas of beautiful seascapes and small studies of floral bouquets surrounded by the ample space of her archetypal acrylic frames.
In contrast, paintings from Steven L. Anderson’s ReNaturing series feature a mashup of 19th-century engravings represented by Anderson in Morris Louis-inspired washes of color.
Together these works provide beautiful vistas and ample space for meditation and vibrant optimism.
