Now Open: ‘Etel Adnan and Seundja Rhee: To meet the sun’ at White Cube Seoul
Presenting the work of Lebanese artist Etel Adnan (1925–2021) and South Korean artist Seundja Rhee (1918–2009), the exhibition brings into correspondence two practices shaped by migration, exile and the pursuit of artistic form far from home.
Though marked by different geopolitical conditions, their trajectories disclose notable affinities. Both artists developed a distinctive visual vocabulary informed by abstraction, philosophical enquiry, and the era’s expanding fascination with space exploration in the 1960s.
📍 The exhibition is on view until 7 March 2026 at White Cube Seoul.
