Yvonne Boag: Travelling, Leaving, Settling, Scotland, Korea, Australia

13 December 2020 to 7 February 2021

For more than 20 years, Yvonne Boag has divided her time between South Korea and Australia, spending seven months each year in Seoul. Dealing with themes of displacement and alienation, this exhibition intends to focus on Boag’s artworks depicting her own personal experiences with migration, immersed in the deep links and multi-layered relationship between Scotland, Korea and Australia.

The exhibition will focus on a selection of Yvonne Boag’s works that connect and emphasise the relationship between the painted surface of her paintings and the intimacy of her prints, drawings and artist’s books. The works selected include recent works from South Korea.

Curated by Akky van Ogtrop.
