Sonyeo White Gold Leaf Silkscreen Print by Fin DAC Hand-Pulled 24-Color on 330gsm Somerset Satin Fine Art Paper Limited Edition Pop Street Art Findac Artwork. 2020 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 25 Artwork Size 25.2x35.43 Silkscreen Print Sonyeo White Gold Leaf Silkscreen Print by Fin DAC Sonyeo White Gold Leaf is a masterfully executed 24-color hand-pulled silkscreen print by renowned graffiti street pop artist Fin DAC. Released in 2020 in a signed and numbered limited edition of only 25 prints, this large-format work measures 25.2 by 35.43 inches and is printed on luxurious 330gsm Somerset satin fine art paper. Its technical complexity, visual grace, and cultural sensitivity make it one of the most refined representations of Fin DAC’s evolution as an artist within the street pop art and graffiti artwork canon. Fusion of Technique and Cultural Influence Sonyeo is a term of Korean origin meaning young woman, and the artwork carries a distinctly Korean aesthetic. The central subject is a poised female figure dressed in a traditional hanbok, whose serene expression and noble posture are interrupted by bursts of color, texture, and symbolism that are distinctly Fin DAC. The use of white gold leaf adds shimmering highlights that elevate the composition and accentuate the model’s eyes and facial structure. Floral elements and a flowing, almost digitalized sense of fragmentation blur the line between classical portraiture and modern intervention. These layered treatments reflect Fin DAC’s ongoing exploration of identity, femininity, and the modern gaze through the lens of cultural heritage. Complex Process and Visual Dynamics Executed using 24 separate silkscreen layers, Sonyeo White Gold Leaf is a technically complex and physically demanding artwork. Each layer contributes to the textural richness, from the base shades of skin and garment to the overlay of gold leaf and expressionistic flourishes. The backdrop is a deep black void, which creates dramatic contrast and forces the viewer’s attention directly onto the figure. Her gaze is unwavering, offering a challenge, an invitation, and a meditation all at once. The flowers in her hair are rendered with painterly abstraction, while her body dissolves into linear sprays and bursts that mirror urban paint strokes found on city walls, suggesting a dialogue between the traditional and the transient. Legacy in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Fin DAC, born in Ireland and now based in the United Kingdom, has spent over a decade redefining the visual language of urban female portraiture. His work is globally recognized for merging high-art sensibilities with graffiti-inspired execution. In the Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork landscape, Sonyeo White Gold Leaf stands as a refined statement on empowerment, ethnic pride, and stylistic experimentation. It embraces the values of craftsmanship, individuality, and cultural respect while simultaneously pushing against the boundaries of street art convention. The piece is not just a collectible but a cultural artifact, representing a moment in time when contemporary street artists used fine art methodologies to tell globally resonant stories.
