New York City-based multidisciplinary visual artist Sung Won Yun is displaying new works in a show called Inner Landscape at Cuesta College’s Harold J. Miossi Art Gallery through Oct. 17. His work in graphite, ink, watercolor, acrylic, and photography “explores the connections between memory, nature, and time,” according to the gallery.
“Inspired by geological formations and plant growth, Yun’s detailed, layered compositions merge the cosmic and the microscopic,” Gallery Coordinator Tim Stark said. “Influenced by traditional Korean aesthetics and Buddhist philosophy, her art balances control and spontaneity with layers that suggest the passage of time, inviting viewers to reflect on the unseen ecological, temporal, and emotional forces shaping their experiences.”
Yun was born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1977. After earning a bachelor’s degree and Master of Fine Arts in painting in Korea, she earned a second Master of Fine Arts at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in 2010.
Admission is free. Regular gallery hours are Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., and by appointment. Email Stark at timothy_stark@cuesta.edu or call (805) 546-3202. Δ
