Curator Review
My spirit-eye is passing into the evening glow
This soft and subtle piece by artist Sueim Koo, hovers between an abstract composition of hues and shapes, and the representation of light and beauty within nature. Long painterly lines, fused tones and Koo’s technique in her placement of splatter and texture, absolutely vibrates with unity. ‘The Evening Glow’ is both felt and seen in this stunning work that singularly seduces the viewer, into a world of abstract romanticism. - E.E.
