The lakes, mountains and rivers of Jongsuk Yoon’s native South Korea are depicted in her semi-abstract compositions, where broad brush strokes of bright colour express her memories and emotional connections to her homeland. The mountainous region of Onyang is depicted in Sansu 2026, which derives its title from Chinese (shanshui), where san means mountain and su (or sui) means water. Yoon’s loose, gestural brush strokes in sky blue, deep purple and brilliant yellow communicate energy, longing, distance and joy.
