One and the Many
Lehmann Maupin

About
Why this artist matters now
Suh Se-ok is a South Korean painter working in nonfigurative Oriental ink, a medium he approached as an abstract rather than representational practice. Operating across multiple identities, including the names Sanjeong and Seo Se-ok, he developed a distinctive vocabulary of gestural mark-making and spatial composition that departed from traditional figurative conventions of East Asian brush painting. His work bridges modernist abstraction with the material and philosophical traditions of ink on paper.
