"In 1953, Young-II Ahn was awarded a coveted membership to the National Artist Association of Korea. Today he continues to use the palate knife exclusively, but viewers familiar with his earlier works will appreciate the recent increase in abstraction and expanded scale, as well as his continuing subtle orderliness and impressionistic atmosphere. He works quietly in his Los Angeles studio, shunning publicity and activities unrelated to art." |

"I work with oil-paints on handmade paper. This paper is manufactured with incrusted tobacco leaves. The leaf must be arranged so as to mimic the folds of the fabric of the cloth that covers the main figure. The leaf is later flattened. When the paper and tobacco have adhered, I then paint on it with oils so as to achieve this result." |
