Oh’s artistic vision is rooted in her childhood experiences in a small seaside village on the Korean peninsula during the Korean War. For two years, she lived in intimate connection with the sea, witnessing its myriad visages. The memories and emotional resonance of this period have become an enduring wellspring for her practice. Despite living in a distinctly different clime today, Oh’s ethos remains unchanged. Her paintings serve as a testament to her ongoing exploration of the interplay between color, space, and form, as she continues to capture the essence of coastal landscapes and the ephemeral qualities of light that define them.
