J.C.
Seo...
J.C. Seo was born December 17, 1940. Dynamic yet contemplative, exacting
yet inexhaustibly versatile, J.C. Seo is a complex artist with a rare
gift and a spectacular eye. Re spected
internationally for mastery of romantic realism, his works are included
in fine art collections and galleries throughout the United States and
Canada, as well as in the National Museum in his native Korea. His works
have been commissioned by General Ray Davis for a depiction of General
Douglas Mac Arthur leading troops during the Korean War, and The Holy
Innocents High J .C. Sea School in Atlanta, Georgia for the Alaskan
Brown Bear that represents the school's authority and foundation. General
Ray Davis wrote "Mr. Seo's great talent and artistic vision are
vividly portrayed in his paintings".
Influenced by 19th century masters
like Anders Zorn, and John Singer Sargent, he prefers to work on a warm
palette, balancing passages of rich color with delicate grays. Through
subtle color harmonies and lighting, J.C. Seo seeks to create a palpable
sense of mood in each painting. His methods of application are steeped
in tradition but at the same time quite contemporary. His paintings
include rural landscapes of the countryside, harbors, genre of the Mediterranean,
and wildlife studies.
Today, Mr. Seo's network of galleries,
dealers, and publishing interests continue to grow worldwide. The evolution
of the artist's success has been born of hard work, discipline, and
an unending passion to paint. The reward for his past efforts and resulting
success have allowed J.C. Seo to focus his energy solely on creating
new works of art. |
