Seundja Rhee (1918–2009), a solo presentation by Gallery Hyundai (Frieze Masters), is celebrated in Korea and France but largely unknown elsewhere. Passionate, experimental and determined, Rhee left Korea in 1951 to forge a career in Paris, where she absorbed modernism, pursuing her own lyrical abstract language of geometric signs and symbols that transcend time and borders. Her works visualize a poetic and musical vision of the world, universe and life. As Gallery Hyundai says, “She started from the bottom, the earth, and steadily grew up and out to encompass the cosmos.”
