Together by Juliana Kang Robinson

May 17, 2023

The SZ Gallery has the distinct privilege of exhibiting one of Juliana Kang Robinson’s more recent works of art, Together. This stunning 48”x76”x2” painting is made with Acrylic on Birch and draws you in upon initial glance. We invite you to the SZ Gallery to see this delightful piece first-hand.

Artist’s Note:

My focus as an artist is to deepen my studio practice and fully engage in creating work that embodies the spirit of unity or HanSan, Korean for "One Mountain." HanSan is the holistic notion that the whole is more than the sum of its parts. A mountain is more than simply soil, plants and rocks just as we people are stronger when unified and rooted together.

My goal is to create visual representations of this concept of HanSan or Togetherness that spur viewers to ponder the beautiful yet complexway that different parts can come together to unify and elevate us beyond the self.
