Von Lintel Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of new paintings by SEO, opening June 8 and continuing through July 8, 2006.
SEO’s painting practice combines aspects of traditional Korean forms and methods with German expressionism of a romantic nature. Her male and female subjects are pictured working in or coursing through an agricultural or watery landscape, often derived from her memories and experiences of the Korean Peninsula.
Though the artist’s paintings are rich in color, their brilliant effect is subdued by the application of thin strips of rice paper directly onto the canvas. These thin strips of paper become, in effect, implied brushstrokes and lend an impastoed, but feathery surface to her landscapes.
Born in Gwangju, South Korea, SEO lives and works in Berlin. Her work appears in public and private collections worldwide, including the Museo de Bellas Artes, Santander, Spain, the Samsung Collection, Seoul, South Korea, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York. This exhibition is SEO’s second with the gallery.
