Self-taught painter Ae Goh (b.1979) records subjects of everyday life in her paintings, such as figures, objects, and nature. By depicting everyday objects, she records the changes in the artist’s attitude towards the subject and the relationships that unfold. In her latest works, Goh separates ‘self’ and ‘surroundings,’ adopting the perspective of an ‘observer’ who observes their emotions and existence from a certain distance. The artist’s pieces capture scenes with a unique and delicate style, emphasizing classical composition and color schemes that evoke empathy.
