Gladstone is pleased to present recent works by Argentine-Swiss artist Vivian Suter for her first exhibition at Gladstone Seoul. Throughout her decades-long career, Suter has excelled in her singular style of installation in which mixed media paintings flood the gallery space, creating a surreal and immersive environment. For this exhibition, Suter has employed the gallery’s modern architecture to transpose elements of her tropical Guatemalan studio onto the urban setting of this Korean neighborhood space. Suter finds inspiration in Abstract Expressionism, color theory, and most of all, her natural surroundings.
