PIBI Gallery presents the solo exhibition of artist Nakhee Sung, “Short Sleeves”, on view through November 9. The exhibition is inviting viewers to dive into a singular visual world of spontaneous yet structural abstract paintings she has made for the last twenty-plus years.

The presentation features new releases filled with far more fluid color surfaces and uninhibited organic forms, and it will prove to be a chance to discover Sung’s fresh melodic reflections of evolved illustrative expressions.

Sung has been creating her unique style by incorporating geometrical elements and structural modules to experiment with idiosyncratic variations and intuitively bringing hues of high saturation and brilliance to the canvas using gradation and contrast.

In a deliberate effort to set this exhibition, “Short Sleeves,” apart from her previous shows – for which she chose abstract yet simple titles that represent the concept of her paintings – Sung opted for a headline that appears to have no direct relevance to her pieces so that viewers may approach and receive her works more fluidly.
