2011 Woohyun Shim: "The Story Starts Where it Ends...& Ends Where it Begins"

Regeneration

Woohyun Shim is a 2010 graduate of the Chicago Art Institute. Her paintings create a natural world which is reflective of the Buddhist philosophy that "everything is changing." Nothing is static. She interprets the world as it is in the process of endless reincarnation. Her work is about the endless duality of growth and decay, life and death, creation and destruction. Her spaces suggest both abstract and figurative images. They envision infinite possibilities of refinement and disorientation. Her paintings create spaces of transformative realms that bring about a mixture of Asian and Western cultures simultaneously. The exhibit will run from August 6 to September 6 ... with a reception for the artist on Saturday, August 6 from 1:30 to 4:30 pm.
