Jeannie Rhyu is a Korean-Canadian artist based in Queens, New York, whose interdisciplinary practice spans across painting, printmaking, ceramic sculpture, and installation. Rhyu traces ancestral memories and emotional impressions by deconstructing and reimagining her cultural visual traditions, excavating the structural remnants of collective memory. She is inspired by the global history of maritime culture, mythology and oral tradition, and migratory experience, which inform her exploration of humans’ relationship with the natural world. Rhyu has exhibited internationally, and has given artist talks and workshops at Columbia, 92NY, Kingsland Wildflowers, and other community organizations. She received a M.F.A. at Columbia University School of the Arts with fellowships and awards from the LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies.
