White Cube Seoul presents the first solo exhibition in Korea by Julie Curtiss. Spanning new paintings, sculptures and monochromatic works on paper, the presentation focuses on themes of motherhood, nature and nurture, embodying the artist’s flair for capturing the mundanity and absurdities of life.










Julie Curtiss focuses on the relationship between nature and culture in her figurative painting, sculpture and gouache on paper, exposing and reworking female archetypes through a surrealist sense of the uncanny. ‘In my images, I enjoy the complementarity of humour and darkness, the uncanny and the mundane, grotesque shapes and vivid colours’, she has commented.
