Review: Sungfeel Yun
There's more iron oxide at the latest location of the still-peripatetic enterprise of Vishal Sumarria and Will Lunn. Korean artist Sungfeel Yun operates at the boundary of at and science by returning to the classroom favourite of iron filings with surprisingly persuasive results. He embeds the filings in resin, then uses magnets from the back of the canvas to drag them into swirling fluxes which have a painterly feel front-on and a more sculptural presence from some angles. He then submits selected areas to rusting, so adding to the contrast of elements: solar images using earthy materials, positive and negative forces, metallic strength in a delicate form.
