Suh Yongsun
Suh Yongsun is a painter and sculptor. He lived in Seoul, South Korea since he was born in 1951. He now owns a studio in Gyeonggido. Suh Yongsun mainly paints the human existence trying to capture the human form. He did this mainly through self portraits, these pictures were based on how he saw himself as an artist rather than a perfect portrait of how he appears. From 1975 to 1982 Suh Yongsun studied at Seoul National University doing fine arts. A few years after he graduated he became the professor at the college of Fine Arts, this was from 1986 to 2008. When Suh Yongsun retired he was given a solo show at the National Museum of Contemporary art, in South Korea. This was to celebrate his award for artist of the year that he was given in 2009.
In my oppinion Suh Yongsun is an unusual artist. his use of very basic block colours make the paintings seem harsh. However i think that his paintings can make your emotions change to how he is wanting you to feel as you look at them.
