Statement

Born in Korea, Sarah Baek graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in design in 1994 and worked as a designer at an advertising agency. She has been active as an artist since moving to the United States in 1999. Her work is a reflection of an individual's loss of self in modern society and the inner emptiness that deepens with a changing external environment, exploring the complex relationship between the visible and the invisible, the inner self and the external world. Her works are bright and cheerful, like the colorful, fleeting brilliance of a rainbow. Her art expresses figures in both the abstract and realistic space, as she creates a utopia that exists beyond space, perspective, and contrast.  Baek aims to give viewers a freedom of interpretation and the space to explore a conversation with oneself, giving viewers the time and space to consider one's position and meaning of life through inner dialogue.
