Summary
"Ten years ago, the Korean artist SEO went to Berlin in search of traditional European painting. She stayed on and became the master pupil of Georg Baselitz. Today, the work of this internationally known artist can be found in many of the most important museums and collections, such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim in New York. For many years SEO has been receiving recognition on the international art market thanks to her unusual collage technique which she developed herself, pasting torn pieces of coloured rice paper, where a painter would use a brush-stoke of colour. This year she will be participating in the Venice Biennale in the shows Personal Structures and Time, Space, Existence in the Palazzo Bembo and Future Pass in the San Gregorio Cloister. This book which examines those exhibits also provides an extensive overview of her work, and documents her artistic and technical development to date. Previously, many of SEO s motifs were either figurative or they showed landscapes; they dealt with very palpable subjects as in her antiwar cycle or they referred explicitly to global environmental destruction. The abstract works in the installations on display in Venice bring her art to a new level on which she approaches fundamental questions regarding the forces of nature and their effect on all creatures. This book presents for the first time SEO s sensuous and intellectual examination of the fundamental powers of physics and energy. The excellent reproductions provide a detailed overview of the installation and collages"--Amazon.
