What kind of image comes to mind when you think of the universe? What does “space” look like in your imagination?

Artist Heo Suyoung sensuously expresses a pure inner world of her own by layering enlarged cosmic imagery onto motifs drawn from everyday life. The images of the universe, rendered through the artist’s persistent observation and delicate brushwork, move beyond simple representation and are reborn as entirely new worlds. The accumulated masses of paint, built layer upon layer, carry traces of condensed time. Filled with drifting visions that seem to dance and clusters of radiant light, the canvases draw viewers deeply into the worlds within the works.

Through a labor-intensive and performative practice that guides us into a mesmerizing realm, the artist’s sensibility offers those of us living today the experience of imagining another world altogether.
