United Existence

After intensive training and studies of Impressionism, Neo-Impressionism, Fauvism, and Cubism in the 1940s, BYON YEONG-WON came to develop "Neo-Formative Art" from 1957. During the 1960s, he began to study sciences and psychology, and came to develop his own theory regarding "co-existence of shapes/figures" which became a catalyst for him to generate the series of abstract paintings using plain dots and lines. This painting [United Existence] of 1965 is a pictorial composition with various sized circular shapes, an extension of his previous linear composition.
