Cho Sung-Hee | Paradise Regained
Opera Gallery is thrilled to present Cho Sung-Hee’s first solo exhibition in New York City. The show features 22 new artworks carefully curated for the occasion.
Born in South Korea, Cho Sung-Hee is a visionary artist exploring the complex relationship between color and texture through a labour intensive, time-consuming process. She uses a collage method in which she hand-cuts or tears hanji paper into small circles then glues them onto her surfaces using a Korean wood glue. She then paints the individual pieces with oil paints, continuing to glue, paint, and layer, until she is satisfied with the outcome.
We hope you find as much beauty and pleasure in this solo show, featuring an artist at the forefront of Contemporary Korean Art.
