Sun Woo Seoul, South Korea, 1994

Integrating digital tools with traditional approaches to painting, Sun Woo’s practice engages with themes of consumption, identity, memory, and contemporary psyche reflected in humanity’s ever-growing interaction with commodified technologies. Constructing eerie spatial compositions embedded with personal narratives, she attempts to anchor fleeting images found online onto the physical body of the canvas, where their distinct properties clash or come together in the tangible space that we occupy.
