Unrighteous Brush

Unrighteous Brush also deals with AHN Kyuchul’s consistently pursued subject matter: to expose concealed orders and contractions by destabilizing the formulaic commonsense conceptions of objects. The letter “죄 (its English equivalent would be “sin”)” inscribed on the bristles of the everyday object of the brush handmade by the artist himself makes one reconsider the use of a brush, which is destined to be used to wipe off dust and other filthy crud. Here, a daily object is used to tell the violence and absurdities done by common senses in every corner of the world.
