YOO YOUNGKUK: COLORS FROM NATURE

Kukje Gallery K2 and K3 spaces

 

To Sunday : Yoo Youngkuk (1916-2002) is regarded, along with Kim Whanki, as one of the most important pioneers in Korean abstract art. This solo exhibition features 31 pieces of Yoo’s paintings that span his entire oeuvre. The paintings are characterized by rich primary colors bearing light and geometric shapes reminiscent of nature, in particular mountains and the sun rising or sinking beyond the mountains. Yoo once wrote in a note that, “The subject of my oeuvre is nature, which I have explored through non-figurative forms. That is abstraction. It is nature, not as a particular subject, but as lines, planes and colors.”
