Sung Nak Hee was born in 1971 in Seoul, South Korea. She graduated from Rhode Island School of Design in 1994. During her student time, she started participating group exhibitions in the U.S. From 1997, she started her art residency in Paris, and won The Travel Award (Cite International des Arts, Paris, France). In 1998, Sung graduated from RCA with an MFA. In 2001, her first solo exhibition was hosted in Window Gallery in Seoul. As one of the most important abstract artists in post-war South Korea, she has participated exhibitions globally, including multiple art museums and galleries in Denmark, New York, Shanghai, etc. Her painting works are excellently executed with the beauty of forms and colours, with exquisite and fine strokes. Her feminine approach has pushed the boundary of the monotone on colours and the limitation of medium materials in traditional Korean paintings. Both her paper works and mural works are uniquely signatural, formed her own language in paintings.
