FRIEZE SEOUL 2026

At Frieze Seoul 2026 Spotlight, SunGallery presents Nature in Painting, 1968–1995, a solo presentationof RanHi Suk (b.1939), a pioneering female artist of Korea’s first generation of abstract art. For over sixdecades, she has explored nature as a fundamental source of her artistic practice, translating the sensoryexperience of nature and its inner rhythms through the movement of lines, layered colours, erased traces,and irregular surfaces. Bringing together lithographs created during her time in Paris in 1968, along withwoodcuts and oil paintings from the 1980s and 1990s, the presentation traces how lines, repeatedgestures, layers of colour, and material surfaces evolved into a distinctive language of abstraction. Throughher unique visual vocabulary, where the materiality of Western abstraction intersects with the spirit of EastAsian brushwork, and through the formal trajectory of her practice from printmaking to painting, theexhibition reconsiders her place within the history of postwar Korean abstract art.
