Suntai YOO
Yoo Suntai’s paintings are a beautiful blend of Eastern and Western sensibilities, telling a story of finding balance amidst different orders. His surrealistic style features a mix of familiar objects arranged in unfamiliar ways, creating a sense of “dépaysement” and leading viewers into a world of imagination. The artist’s paintings are poetic and literary, featuring a figure riding a bicycle as a symbol of himself and his journey through the “forest of art.” Through his artwork, Yoo Suntai seeks to recreate the sense of peace he felt in nature during his childhood and hopes to provide viewers with a place to stay in that space. With each painting, the artist engages in a process of discovering the truth in his heart and looking at himself honestly and directly.
