ARTWORKS RELATED TO PEN AND INK

Transavanguardia is the Italian version of Neo-Expressionism, referring to an art movement that emerged in Italy and other parts of Western Europe during the 1970s and 1980s. The term translates to beyond the avant-garde. Transavanguardia arose as a reaction against the dominance of conceptual art, reintroducing emotion and reviving painting as a primary medium. The movement marked a return to mythic imagery and figurative art, celebrating a rediscovery of traditional forms and themes in a contemporary context.

Tansaekhwa, also known as monochrome painting, is a movement in Korean art that began in the mid-1970s. These artworks are characterized by the manipulation of painting materials, such as pushing paint, soaking the canvas, ripping paper, or other techniques that alter the medium. Tansaekhwa emphasizes texture, materiality, and the physical process of creating the artwork.
