A Journey to the Infinite: Yoo Youngkuk

“A Journey to the Infinite” features works primarily from the 1960s and 1970s, a pivotal period where Yoo Youngkuk dedicated himself fully to painting. Working in solitude, he produced numerous exceptional pieces. The exhibition traces study of organic and geometric forms, exploration of colour theory, and integration of traditional Korean aesthetics with Western art movements like Surrealism and Constructivism. Yoo pioneered avant-garde movements such as New Realism, Modern Art Association, Contemporary Artists Exhibition, and New Figures.
