Seoul, b. unknown

Seokmee Noh's works are mainly based on her surroundings and everyday moments such as people or objects. Despite the simple compositions and shapes, it's the key brushstrokes and vivid colors that make the subject matter stand out clearly on the canvas. In particular, the artist's way of expressing her emotions through color rather than form gives off a distinctive cool and lively nuance due to the stark color contrasts. This, coupled with Noh's free-flowing, jerky brushstrokes, creates a vibrant texture that is sometimes accompanied by simple letters or phrases, which is another characteristic of her work. Born in Seoul, Korea, Seokmee graduated from Hongik University College of Fine Arts, Department of Painting in 1994 and has since held solo and group exhibitions at various art spaces in Seoul, the United States, Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Representative exhibitions include 'Poetic Collection' at the Seoul Museum of Art, 'Painting and Narrative' at Museum San, and 'When I Wake Up in the Morning' at Albus Gallery. In Jeju, she exhibited 128 paintings depicting the front view of the sea at the Jeju Biennale 2022. Her works are currently in the collections of the Seoul Museum of Art, the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art Art Bank, and the Space Body Museum. She currently lives with his cat in Yangpyeong, South Korea, where she continues to communicate with the world through writing and painting.
