But Nothing Happening
Jiyoon Koo

GALLERY III

April 27-May 21, 2011

Opening Reception: Thursday, April 28, 6-8:30pm

Jiyoon Koo's recent drawings and paintings continue her exploration of the gestural language of artmaking. Koo paints semi-abstract and surrealistic ‘face-scape’ images where color and imagery move dynamically through layered spaces. The paintings are meant to project excessive stimuli and produce an emotionally numbing effect. The drawing Anti-Climax is a deconstructed apocalyptic landscape composed of pencil lines that are at once both loose and sensitive. The seemingly jarring, nervous, irritable and sharp-tempered tone of Anti-Climax is meant to express the sense of void that accompanies the extreme boredom and anxiety of an apathetic people.
