Suki Maguire Abstract Paintings

Korean, b. 1949

Suki Maguire (Kim Jong Sook) was born in Seoul, Korea in 1949. She grew up in Seoul, and always displayed a propensity for the arts. As a largely self-taught artist, Maguire's style reflects the strength and a passion that grew out of these struggles, as the Korean War broke out in 1950. However, after finishing school, the demands of work and family all precluded her from becoming seriously involved in her beloved art.

Over a quarter of a century of teaching at the Seoul British School has allowed Maguire some outlet for her creative impulses through instructing the children or setting up seasonal displays at the school. When Maguire felt it was time to get serious about doing her work, she enrolled at Hongik University's Adult Education Art Program. There she had the precious opportunity of studying under some of Korea's most illustrious artists.

Maguire has always retained her own unique personal approach to painting. An illustration of this is in her methodology for painting nudes, her first major area of focus in her rediscovered art career. Maguire would go into a Korean public bathhouse for women, without brush or camera, where she would employ her hands and arms to sketch invisibly, her chosen subject in her artistic mind's eye.

"Abstract Composition (Blue, Amber and Green)" Mixed Media Painting on Paper
By Suki Maguire
Located in New York, NY
This piece is an abstract composition done with mixed media, oil and acrylic paints on paper. The artist explores an incredible world filled with color and expressive brushstrokes. The lines and texture create a mature abstract composition as Suki Maguire has been painting in this field since the 1970s. Her joy is the expression and we can find these notes displayed vividly in this piece. This piece comes displayed in a modern light wood floating frame under glass. Art measures 9 x 6 in Frame measures 17 x 12.25 in There is a great potential for discovery in Maguire's world of symbols, but a passing glance will not do, you have to allow your gaze to linger on this part and that of each painting so that your subconscious will have the opportunity to retrieve the elusive forms that seem to be hiding within the more obvious shapes. This holds true even in those works that incorporate letters of the Korean or Latin alphabet, which serve as glyphs bearing some symbolic meaning that goes beyond the mere representation of sound. She has exhibited internationally in Seoul, Nantucket, New York, and Italy. Her styles and materials have ranged from realism to abstract, from water and oil colors to acrylics and coffee grounds.

By Suki Maguire

Unorthodox; yet effective, Suki treats us to a series of works that tantalizes the imagination with bold strokes of dark and light, hinting at shapes both human and ethereal and pulling us through the two-dimensional surface of the canvas into the mysterious depths of a multidimensional world. Her works resonate with strong, masculine strokes, vibrant colors, and passionate themes. The common factor is that when looking at her pieces you can spend some time letting your mind play within each painting and you'll come away with a much richer understanding of what Suki Maguire's art has to show at a simple glance. Comes displayed in a modern light wood floater frame and is signed lower right and on verso.
