Russell Collection Fine Art: Yang & Yun
Three artists with Eastern roots blend ancient techniques with Western influences "to reveal a highly curated collection of art that goes deeper than the canvas." In Joeng and Choon Yun’s case, the canvas is bark from South Korean Dak trees, put through a 2,000-year-old process of boiling, beating, cleaning, and drying. Rimi Yang’s artistic style also bridges the cultural divide with Japanese block print and 19th-century portraiture.Through Oct. 31 -
