This event has ended.
“I am interested in boxes - the way that they contain things and the way that they set things free. For me, the freedom of open spaces means the embrace of space as an area that is philosophically full and empty at the same time.”
-Sunok Chun
Through a series of approximately 20 paintings and an interactive installation, this exhibition explores how we define freedom, particularly as it relates to enclosed and open spaces we inhabit; and, more generally, how we navigate the responsibilities and discipline required to maintain freedom.
Sunok Chun’s practice brings together antithetical elements such as geometry and the spontaneous gesture to create a dialogue between rational straight lines and atmospheric, floating areas of color and gestural expression.
Sunok was born in Seoul, Korea where she received a BFA from Sung-Shin Women’s University. Sunok also holds a MFA in painting from Pratt Institute.
