The picture I have chosen is the “Breeze” by “Chunghie Lee”. When I saw it, at first, I was attracted so well by the hues. There is the chroma in the work and the primary color is yellow. So, secondary colors and tertiary colors also exist as dark yellow and mud yellow. Some pieces have value graduation because this work is made of achromatic plain. They are analogous colors. So each different space can be easily harmonized.
The shape of this work is not precise square. Because this piece has many geometric shapes. For example, there are yellow triangles and brown squares. I think these shapes come from invented shapes. So when we look at the picture, we can be confused about something between division and combination. It looks like a interlock. The square in the concluding square and a triangle are similar figures in this space. When I saw the shape from afar, it could be thought as a triangle. Then, I would think this is the division of space. On the other hand, when I look at the art piece more closely the details show a combination of squares. And this work also has a lot of lines. If only the lines exist except for the colors or if only the value graduations of yellow exist, it would be flat compositions. But they have the tones of colors and irregular lines. So this piece can have depth. In the proportion of this work, when we split it into a vertical axis, this piece is a formal balance entirely. But in a horizontal axis, it is asymmetrical balance because it has a hard edge on the upside. Furthermore, this work looks so simple. But it has lines and shapes unsystematically. However, the reason how we can see this work as simple and in harmony is because of the color saturation.

I agree with most of your description about the work especially in terms of color gradation based primary yellow base and the geometric shapes, but I didn't notice about the balance because I focused more on the each small figures, not the general division. Also when I look up the piece, I preceived as the whole frame made of geometric shapes, so I'm not sure about the part that we can recognize squres as moving toward the work from the triangle in a far distance.
Meanwhile, I want to talk about texture of the work. The fabrics is a little stiff, so it's not definately soft, but we can feel the cool air passing through the fabrics.
It is a very flat painting, but we can feel a little rhythm because of the arrangement of the color and irregular patterns. I think that's why the name is the "Beeze".
