Lives and works in Jeju Island
Byun Se Hee is a painter whose works are filled with characters that are inspired by childhood imagery. Her vivid colours and bold contours portray her paintings as if they are illustrations from children’s books and 90’s cartoon shows taking the viewer back in time to that age. The narratives in her paintings are closely related to childhood memories and emotions. Se-hee leaves room in her works for the viewer to decode the symbols and objects and create their own story from them.
Her work has been exhibited in a solo exhibition title Jungle, 571ARTSPACE, Hangzhou, China (2021). It has also been featured in several group exhibitions, including ART TAICHUNG, Millennium Hotel, Taichung, Taiwan (2021); ART TAIPEI 2021, Taipei World Trade Center, Taipei, Taiwan (2021); REBIRTH, YKpresents, Seoul, Korea (2021); 42 IS, 42ARTSPACE, Beijing, China (2021); Art- Tainan, Tainan Shangri-La’s Far Eastern Plaza Hotel, Taiwan (2021) and Art- Future, Grand Hyatt Hotel, Taipei, Taiwan (2021).
