GHEEM Sookyoung is a South Korean artist who has made a significant impact on the international art scene with her original and powerful works. Her exhibition experience in cities around the world, including Venice, London, Paris and Korea, demonstrates her talent and ability to connect with audiences across many different cultures. 



"Distance" and “Va et Vient", which are a perfect example of her unique and innovative approach to art. "Distance" is a performance piece that explores themes of separation and connection. The scene of two women tied and kept apart by two columns, with a rope winding around them, is a powerful and visually intense image.
 The physical distance between the two women represents the emotional and psychological separation, which many of us can recognize and relate to in everyday life.

"Va et Vient", is another example of her unique and innovative approach to art. This wooden sculpture lying on the ground representing a half sphere explores themes of balance and tension. The precarious form of the sculpture creates a sense of tension and uncertainty, representing the delicate balance that exists in life and the struggle to maintain stability in a constantly changing world. 

GHEEM Sookyoung demonstrates her ability to create powerful visual images that evoke intense emotions and a deep connection with the audience. Her technique and style are unique and original, making her an artist to watch.

I bring the weight to weightless fragments. 

    Some things do exist, 
although invisible.

I, as an artist, shed light on 
how intangible fragments affect us.

I have been shifting from place to place.

I perceive the change in each living space through metaphysical concepts, like jet lag, 
smell, language, and atmosphere.

As I slowly assimilate and adjust 
to a new environment, 
my work forms itself accordingly 
by melting into its surrounding.

    The assemblage of organic materials 
is based on their potential 
for transformation 
and intrinsic properties.

With their fleeting
and fragile composition, 
I reconstruct conflicting moments between the individual 
and the external environment.

Through visualizing these moments, 
I lead viewers to explore 
how intangible fragments in our ordinary affect us.
