Life in NYC

Pebble Beach, California. "California" is a collection of illustrations reimagining life in The Golden State. The fields of overgrown golden grass, the rolling hills, the beaches, the mountains, just about every part of this state has something unique to showcase. Inspired by the vivid imagery of authors including my personal favorite, John Steinbeck, I have created this collection of art to pay homage to the beauty this state has to offer. A romanticism of California. A charming and simple interpretation of the place that helped raise me.

Sleepy Beagle 

Artists such as Charles Sheeler, known as both a photographer and painter created works focused on shifting landscapes as the world became increasingly modernized. So too I felt my work reflected this very concept. Like Sheeler’s art, my work has very few people; much of the purpose for my art is to help show how people impact the world and how we can find beauty in the things we take for granted.

Sheeler’s work often devoid of people, to me, creates a surreal sentiment and continues to inspire me to learn and experiment more. Part of the reason I call myself a “Neo-Precisionist” is because I want people to look at my work and understand the reference point. This work I create is unique to myself given my upbringing, my journey, my 21st century experiences and yet the themes, the approach, and the ideas almost seem perfectly in-line with these painters from an older era. It is a learning process for me but also using the word “Neo-Precisionist” helps people new to art learn about these movements from the past that I so profoundly connect with.

The Pill 1 - 2017

"Grant Riven Yun - Early Works" is a series of compositions created at the very beginning of Yun's digital art career (2016-2017). Each piece was created on Microsoft PowerPoint using 1 layer by taking the shapes tool to manipulate shapes to create silhouettes of objects. Without the options and capabilities of a dedicated digital illustrating tool, Yun's style was shaped by necessity and limitations of the software he used. His style today incorporates much of the same techniques used in this series.

The Pill 1

My introduction into digital art began in college during my freshman year. Having spent the prior decade drawing on physical mediums I felt completely lost when I first came to the digital side. I decided the best way to get started was to pick up Microsoft PowerPoint/Apple’s Keynote and use the shapes tool to overlay shapes on one another. Surprisingly by using the shapes tool and using some gradients I was able to create fairly convincing images just with PowerPoint.

In Fall, suburbia seen from above forms a gateway to everyday life.

Part of an ongoing series depicting Riven Yun's experiences in North Eastern USA, Fall explores the intersection between matter-of-fact memories and endless imagination. A familiar cluster of houses sit between delicate electrical cables – emphasising the depth and scale of the sweeping composition.

“My work has always been to translate emotions and to have people reflect on their own personal lives; In a sense, my art is but a portal to each individual's memories.”

Each print is paired with an NFT of the same artwork. Claiming instructions will be shared with collectors after launch.
