oh chi Gyun, New York 1987–2016

The method by which Oh Chi Gyun layers thick coats of acrylic paint on the canvas is familiar to the public. Oh Chi Gyun left for New York at 30 and continues to this day to capture the city’s diverse faces on his canvas to this day. If you remember the dark subways and homeless men and women Oh painted in the ‘80s, you’ll be surprised by his newest works. Approaching the city with more stability and confidence, Oh sees new life in New York’s landscapes and nature.
