Inscription of T'Chao Paé

Seong Moy was an American painter and printmaker whose abstract compositions combined gestural brushwork with geometric structure, working primarily in oil, watercolor, and lithography. Born in 1921, he developed a modernist vocabulary that synthesized European abstraction with sensibilities shaped by his experience as a Korean-American artist in the postwar period. His work bridged lyrical abstraction and constructive form, emphasizing surface, color relationships, and the materiality of his chosen mediums.
