Marine Wildfire & Underwater Forests
May 25 — July 22, 2023
Seoul
Gladstone is pleased to announce Marine Wildfire & Underwater Forests, an exhibition of new works by Claudia Comte, and the artist’s first exhibition with the Gallery in Seoul, Korea. For the first time, the artist will present a series of relief sculptures alongside an expansive and immersive new wall painting designed specifically for the Gallery space. Through an interdisciplinary approach, Comte applies a carefully considered palette of material to create forms in space that suggest both playful and deeply political, socially engaged narratives.
