monochrome beauty

Using monochrome is one of my favorite techniques for expressing contrasting emotions and highlighting events depicted in the painting. “Monochrome Beauty” incorporates the installation walls executed with black, white, and gray tape to emphasize the contrasting interactions happening within the painting. An additional technique employed to accentuate contrasts is the use of dual faces, akin to Yin and Yang. The absence of color allows the viewer to focus on the essence without being distracted by vivid hues. Influences on the “Monochrome Beauty” series include poster art and Japanese woodblock prints, known as Soviet poster art and Japanese woodblock prints. Achromatic colors have a stronger emotional impact, accentuating the atmosphere and mood of the artwork, imbuing it with dramatic flair. The lack of color enables a clearer focus on forms, lines, and textures, thereby highlighting the composition. Monochromatic colors are utilized to symbolize opposites. Furthermore, without color, one can better perceive lighting, shadows, depth, and volume. Through the use of monochrome palette, one can experiment with visual effects and constraints in the artistic realm.
