While she concentrated in abstract painting during her undergraduate studies, Seungmee Yoo’s work shifted into realism as she entered graduate school. Despite this shift however, Yoo continues to use her background in abstraction as a tool for her current paintings. As the viewer approaches closer to the painting, the utilized brush strokes capture the energy of the subject and the lines between abstraction and realism begin to blur. Heavily inspired by nature, Yoo’s subject matter is often quiet moments that feature the natural landscapes or people of Korea. While quiet and calming in scenery, Yoo is able to capture the vitality in her subject matter through layers and layers of oil paints. Yoo continues her search for this vitality as she becomes closer with nature.
Gallery Episode hopes to offer a moment of serenity and comfort through Seungmee Yoo’s artworks. “Sound of Nature” will open on Friday, March 1st, 2024, with an opening reception on Saturday, March 2nd from 4 to 6pm. The artist will be in attendance and light refreshments will be served. The exhibition will be on view from March 1 to March 8.
