Kim Tschang-Yeul, 91, Dies; Painted Water Drops Swollen With Meaning, Online obituary of The New York Times, by Andrew Russeth, January 15, 2021

Hailing from South Korea, he became an international art star with luminous images informed by Eastern philosophy and the trauma of war.

SEOUL — Kim Tschang-Yeul, who devoted a half century to creating luminous paintings of water drops that are informed by the trauma of war and Eastern philosophy, died on Jan. 5 in Seoul, South Korea. He was 91.

Gallery Hyundai, which has shown his work since the 1970s, confirmed the death.

Rendered with meticulous care, Mr. Kim’s drops can seem to sit miraculously atop his raw canvases or be in the midst of gliding down them, leaving a trail of moisture. They glimmer with light and cast shadows, and while vividly present, they are always on the verge of evanescing. They made Mr. Kim one of the most celebrated Korean artists of his time.
