Venturing Sanity: Furthest Reach of Reason | Jacob Paik

June 15, 2017 to July 31, 2017

Venue: Lionel Rombach Gallery

A Walk Through Garden, 2017. Acrylic on Wood and Door Panel

The exhibition, Venturing Sanity: Furthest Reach of Reason, features artworks that invite viewers into a realm of psychological transcendence through breaking up the logical set of rules of geometry and common understanding of space.   The showcased artworks are expressed in geometrical abstraction with a subtle hint of realism to engage viewers to draw connection from their lives to abstracted shapes and colors of the works.  The artworks are created during last two years since Paik moved to Arizona from New Jersey.

Jacob Paik is an artist who specializes in creating geometrical abstract painting on structurally shaped canvas. His experience as an only child in the fast-developing and highly competitive country, South Korea, in the 90’s where social norms and expectations were prioritized over individuality led Paik to revolt and reject conventional form of canvas and representation of reality altogether.   He has a bachelor of Fine Arts from Cornell University, where he graduated with Post-Baccalaureate Award and the Elsie Dinsmore Popkins Memorial Painting Award.  Since then, he has shown internationally in Italy and Korea, and had his first solo exhibition in New York City in 2014.

We were delighted to host the Visions Program from Scottsdale today with a series of tours and workshops with our faculty — and to show students what it’s like to be an Art Wildcat!

The program brings together 42 art students from diverse Maricopa County high schools for a yearlong series of activities designed "to cultivate artistic skills, collaboration and civic engagement," Visions says.

Opening speeches from Colin Blakely, (School of Art Director), Karen Zimmerman (Associate Director), lydia see (Gallery Director) and Ashley Rubin (Art Advising) welcomed students and gave them a glimpse into the workings of the school. Visiting Profs. Danielle Jones (3DXM) and Erin DiGiovanni (2D) and Assistant Prof. Nicole Antebi (IDA/Animation) held workshops, while Denise Angulo (Administrative Associate) and student workers Kayla Bradshaw and Alex Allen led the tours. Thanks everyone for an amazing day! (Photos by Ava Sheppard)
