A former pupil of Georg Baselitz, Korean artist SEO was first recognized for her landscapes and figurative work, in which she made innovative use of colored rice paper as an unusual collage medium. Most recently, her works have been solicited for the Venice Biennale and are also on display at the Museum of Modern Art and the Guggenheim.

SEO: Personal Cosmos provides an illustrated overview of her body of work as well as her artistic and technical development to date. Starting with SEO’s early collages, including a successful series on war and global environmental destruction, the book then considers her later abstract work that takes her art to a new level, including groundbreaking installations inspired by physics and energy. SEO has earned international critical acclaim for her thought-provoking and creatively brilliant explorations of the forces of nature, and this book brings her work deservedly to the forefront.
