This event has ended.

Jonathan LeVine Gallery presents Infinite Roots, a solo exhibition of new works on paper by Los Angeles based artist Saelee Oh. As her first solo exhibition at the gallery, Infinite Roots features imagery created in a variety of mediums including paintings, drawings and hand-cut paper, all of which will be incorporated into a site-specific installation.

The theme of the work in this exhibition relates to the artist’s belief that everything in the universe is connected, and that no one is ever truly alone. Heavily influenced by nature, Saelee’s imagery portrays flora and fauna of land, sea, and sky. Her subject matter depicts a harmonious world, flowering and full of life. The narratives are told primarily through female figures as well as various animal species.

Many of Saelee’s pieces are delicately painted or drawn, while others are created in an intricate process where she constructs ornate compositions of interconnected flat shapes, imaginatively fabricated and cut by hand out of paper. In a textural play between positive and negative space, the paper overlay often forms subtle shadows beneath the silhouetted imagery, introducing added depth and dimensional layers to the organic line quality of the work.
