In YOO HYE-SOOK’s paintings, the materials engage in a dialogue, struggle and negotiate to find harmony. Covering the entire spectrum —from the golden pinkish beige of dawn to the luminously deep blue of dusk, from electric yellows to nocturnal greens—, shades are juxtaposed like fine gauze to create vibrant surfaces. Either through bare brushes or powerful strokes, her work shows humility, seeking simply to faire présence —to create presence. It materialises some resonance of the hours, the emotions, and the sights that alternated, cumulated, and stratified YOO HYE-SOOK conveys the idea of an internal light, either dark or bright, akin to some electricity that would express itself through brush strokes. The works thus born strike by their intense luminosity, by their ability to go to the gaze, like a persistent quiver…
YOO HYE-SOOK will exhibit alongside CLAUDE VIALLAT (who will also create the CAC’s Advent Calendar) and DORIAN COHEN, as the CAC is hosting several solo exhibitions simultaneously.
A group exhibition the “Première” program, dedicated to emerging artists, is also on view.
