'Poetic Abstraction' is a term that coined for a style of contemporary abstraction painting which conceptually break from tradition and the past, to then recognize the present, and thus gain the power to move on to the future. The concept of 'poetic abstraction' combines Sijo ( a distinctive Korean poem format), the Korean traditional color schemes of Oh Bang Saeg and Oh Gan Saeg, and the concept of Han (the Korean interpretation of a historically particular, innate bittersweet sorrow emotion). The viewer can release their negative emotions and sublimate to happiness and jubilance through abstract paintings.
