Wooster Street in SOHO Painting

"The Basic philosophy of my art is bringing the huge Power or energy from nature or daily life. My abstract does not come from the direct practice of Abstract on canvas, I explore my own abstract without giving up what I see in front of me." In most recent years, Shin has dedicated his focus to New York City. The expressiveness of New York City -- its brilliant culture, vast history, and even the very streets of the metropolis -- has continued to inform his work as he develops his artistic voice. Shin’s ultimate goal is to transform the scenes of daily life into a kind of visual poetry through his technical mastery of breaking down color and light. That visual poetry is the basis of a new kind of art form that Shin hopes to create and convey, influenced by Korean calligraphy and the bold brushstrokes of Expressionism. Becoming an artist is like an adventurous journey. You will never know where you will end up, but you should try hard to achieve something great.
