Tomie Seo

Stating that every phenomena of this world are all intertwined and related like light and shadow or cause and effects, she often juxtaposes opposite images through drawing, painting, video and sculpture with electronics and creates interactive installation, which represent a diorama or map of a whole structure or system. She obtained a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and a MA in Painting from Royal College of Art, and she participated in Atlantic Center for the Arts, Vermont Studio Center in the U.S. and SeMA NANJI Residency in Korea, and shows works internationally.
