The Doubling of Reality

Based in Berlin but with Korean roots, artist SEO connects two wildly different cultures and traditions by creating her own unique expression. She has been represented in international collections at venues such as MoMa, New York and the Venice Biennale.

Globalization and its impact on humans and their environment is a significant subject in SEO’s oeuvre. In her new exhibition The Doubling of Reality, landscapes from all over the world turn up, including architectural structures that create new rooms and indicate new environments.

One of SEO’s distinct features is her unique way of combining painting and collage techniques. By gluing thousands of small pieces of very delicate paper on the canvas one by one, she almost has an expression that is close to three-dimensional. In addition, she paints the canvas with acrylic paint in intense and expressive colours.
