			The mountain is not in front of me but inside of me.
– Yoo Youngkuk

Kukje Gallery is pleased to present Colors of Yoo Youngkuk, the 20th memorial exhibition of the pioneering Korean abstract painter Yoo Youngkuk from June 9 to August 21, installed across all three of the gallery’s spaces (K1, K2, K3) in Seoul. Commemorating the 20th anniversary of Yoo’s death, this is the artist’s second exhibition with Kukje Gallery following Colors from Nature in 2018 and surveys his entire artistic oeuvre, with an emphasis on Yoo’s lasting legacy of abstract and formal experimentation. Highlighting multiple stages of the artist’s career, the exhibition is comprised of 68 paintings that present iconic examples from each period of his life; in addition, it will include 21 drawings and archives of ephemera documenting Yoo’s artistic activities, including photographs taken by the artist in 1942 that underscore his interest in photography to develop new abstract methods and vocabularies.
