"As self-portraits these works are concerned not with self-image but with self-embodiment and how painting can materially express the experience of self. Here is the female body, mortal and splendid, but tenanted - occupied rather than objectified. As nudes these images resist the female objectification inscribed in Western tradition by asserting mutability and the freedom that comes with this. Drawing on techniques used in traditional oriental landscape painting, Seung Ah creates multiple or ‘floating’ perspectives, which deflect the single ‘authoritative’ viewpoint." Emma Brooker 14/12/12

In 2013 painter Seung Ah Paik created a series of works for Art Athina in Greece and it was only there that they have ever been shown. Now, for the first time, the series will be exhibited in London, together with other previously unseen paintings from the same period on loan from the private collections of Dr. Violeta Marmon, I. Lubomirov, and Mr & Ms P Carter Robinson.

Seung Ah Paik was born in Seoul, Korea in 1979. She lives and works in Philadelphia, USA. She studied Oriental Painting at Seoul National University (2003), followed by Fashion Design at Central Saint Martin’s (2006), before returning to painting for her MFA Fine Art in Goldsmiths (2013).
