He has been a chairman of Asia Watercolor Painting Federation Committee, a steering committee member and a judge of Korean Art Competition, a senior vice-president of Korea Watercolor Painting Association, a vice president of Korea Art Association and a president of Daegu Watercolor Painting Association. Currently, he is a consultant of Korea Watercolor Painting Association, a council adviser of Daegu Watercolor Painting Association and a president of Daegu Watercolor Painting Academy.
Taemo Yang’s abstractions observe the trees and creeping vines as if they were an old, neglected friend. They wonder how these elements came to be and how they took shape. In a world where nothing remains the same, forces like water, wind, sky, and earth appear, suggesting a dance against the resistance of air and energy. This "dance" isn’t a battle but rather an ongoing transformation without purpose or fixed form. The artist views this landscape as a whole, not an individual entity, where the act of naming things—like trees or creepers—both defines and limits their identity. Through this contemplation, the artist confronts the overlooked margins of life: the silence amidst noise, the forgotten death amidst living, and the unacknowledged outside of human existence. Ultimately, they feel torn between human order and the anti-human landscape, a space where one might lose their words and their way by lingering too long.
Meanwhile, Victoria Steinberg, a Jewish-American abstract artist, challenges perceptions with her expressive and layered abstractions, exploring identity and emotion through her unique lens.
Andrea Geller holds a BFA from Parsons School of Design, following two years of painting study at Cornell University, and an MFA in Painting from William Paterson University. Her early career as an illustrator and designer included work for The New York Times, The Washington Post, and Random House Publishing. Her paintings have been exhibited nationally, and her work Floating was selected for display in the U.S. Embassy in Athens, Greece. In 2023, her piece Swimming Over Antarctica was featured in the NJ Arts Annual at the Noyes Museum.
Ga Gook Hyun with an impressive career marked by 41 solo exhibitions across cities like Daejeon, Paris, and New York, brings his refined approach to ceramics-inspired still life. A graduate of Sejong Graduate School of Painting and Hannam University, Ga’s work embodies the quiet elegance of ceramic forms, translated onto canvas. In Sensitivity Still Life, he explores themes of simplicity, emptiness, and contemplation, emphasizing flatness, dimensionality, and the poetic balance between filling and void. His pieces challenge conventional beauty, embracing a noble and introspective artistic language that has been widely celebrated at international art fairs, including KIAF and the Shanghai Art Fair.
Jinhee Kim fills and erases her canvas through her imagination. She visualizes her inspiration, which is her vent of illusion, and puts words and orders onto the canvas. She might have identified a dream through her unconscious mind. A dreamer simply accepts the situations of images without any objection. Kim, however, captures those images and combines them with her sense for visual composition. She collects those images to fulfill her aesthetic desire or allow them to change into new images with changed meaning. Her works are not merely facilitators of communication because they don’t directly reveal the stories to the viewer. For Kim, her art is more about provoking an enigma rather than appealing to her audiences by manufacturing a world within painting. She liberates representational functions of colors and forms, which were the original duty of art, and she describes and imitates the visible world, as well as revealing her repressed identities within her inner world. The style is very infantile, and her wits overcome it. Also, Kim reproduces the essentials of nature in non-representational ways; therefore, her paintings are like nature that does not want to be disturbed or decorated - nature includes the truth, but doesn’t reveal it. Her works are appreciated as nature-like repositories of imagination, enabling maximum polysemy thinking with minimal expression. Lastly, she paints as if she is enjoying the freedom of the moment.
Jung Chul, with over 30 solo exhibitions spanning Seoul, New York, Paris, and more, Tony Iron Jung has earned a distinguished reputation for his evocative Korean paintings. His work explores the intersection of traditional and contemporary aesthetics, delving into themes of cultural homogeneity and dynamic energy. Jung’s pieces are characterized by a harmonious blend of line, form, and color, capturing the essence of Korean art in a global context. His art has been showcased at prestigious venues such as the Seoul Museum of Art, the Arab National Gallery, and the Shanghai Art Fair. This exhibition, A Truth-Seeker’s Paradise, invites viewers to embark on a reflective journey, exploring beauty, truth, and the spiritual resonance of traditional Korean techniques.
Vanessa Marrocco is a painter whose work explores teh emotional terrain of iminal spaces, those suspended moments between departure and arrival, clarity and confusion, feeling and numbness. Using the motif of the road, her paintings reference the familiar while slipping into the uncanny. By distilling fleeting scenes into simplified yet evocative compositions, she creates phycological landscapes that feel both distant and intimate.
Lee Dae Sun Hwa began erasing literal representations of nature, focusing instead on abstraction as an inner structure. They believe that reproducing nature's image isn't the same as capturing its true essence. Through repetition of colors, lines, and dots, the artist creates a primitive simplicity, where texture and color come together to reveal abstract emotion and harmony.
Ruth Bauer Neustadter makes a wide range of works from portraits to compositions via assemblage - all unified by her abstract style and vision. Delving into her spirituality and the world of abstract ideas and emotions, Neustadter utilizes raw, expressive colors and experimental, aggressive juxtaposition of forms and (found object) materials to create spaces on the canvas, where new meanings and interpretations are forged by the viewer.
Neustadter’s paintings often carry the raw primitive and the folk-like qualities and energies that somehow approach the Neo-Expressionist style. There must be a performative aspect to her painting process that is hidden from view or the obvious, as dance has been an important part of Neustadter’s life and career contributes to the necessity of reading her paintings in this light.
Paula Schiller Having received her BA in English, Paula Schiller began taking art classes at the Brooklyn Museum Art School and continued her studies at the National Academy of Design, The Art Students League of NY, and the Art Center of Northern NJ. She went onto win awards such as the First Prize at the ACNNJ Juried Show in 2016 and the First Prize at the Bergen County Juried Show in 2013. Schiller abstracts the landscape in a lyrical or poetic way, with nature and water being a repeated theme that connects the artist to her early experiences and memories. Schiller’s styles range from complete abstraction to impressionistic representations of the world, as she seeks to evoke a mood or the essential character of the place rather than a literal depiction.
Joan Strier is a sculptor in New Jersey who uses the traditional ceramic making process called Raku.
Miro Sinovic sees and paints New York City like nobody before him. His paintings are bursting with life, energy, colors and a constant sense of movement. He says of his work, “my paintings are what New York City is: a wonderful mess and a beautiful noise”. Miro believes that art at its best is seeing life in new and exciting ways, not as rote formula.
Marsha Heller is inspired by nature specfically the natural phenomena of the sky saying “ I have seen the sky an thought to myself if I painted that, no on would believe it!” Her goal is to paint the impossibly beautiful subtlties of nature using reds, purples, pinks and yellows.
