Suejin Jo
Suejin Jo
Suejin Jo, Korean born abstract painter based in New York, studied with
Stamos and Vytlacil at the Art Students League where she won McDowell
Award juried by Richard Pousette D’art and Romare Bearden. One often
finds dichotomy in her work such as delicate lines with mass of color or in
the theme “fish and cactus”. She paints with unique medium of oil and dry
pigment which gives a picture surface much like old fresco painting. Helen
Harrison of The New York Times described her painting as having “the
character of an ancient wall painting”.
She exhibited widely in and around New York and in Korea. Her most recent
solo show was at the Broome Street Gallery as a result of winning Jacob and
Gwendolyn Lawrence Solo Exhibition Award 2008, sponsored by the New
York Artists Equity Association and juried by DC Moore Gallery. She partici-
pated in Pool Art Fair, New York and Miami 2007, Manif 2008 in Seoul Korea,
AAF with Tria Gallery 2009. Her work is in many private and public collections
including Library of Congress, Chase Manhattan Bank, General Instrument
Company, Embassy of San Marino, Sogang University, Ahl Foundation, and
Korea Exchange Bank. Her paintings are currently in the “Art for Embassies”
program.
