Artist

Nakhee Sung

Nakhee Sung creates paintings that are slowly composed and gradually evolved into a particular, multi-layered, spatial structure, using intuitive yet decisively simple brushstrokes.
From this process emerges the artist’s psychological flow of accumulated visual depth concentrated with rhythmic intricacies of color.
