Sunna BOHLEN
1950, Korea, Democratic People's Republic of

Born and educated in Korea, Bohlen moved to the United States in her early 20s. A self-taught artist, Bohlen began painting at a young age and has worked in relative isolation. While Bohlen’s paintings are generally pure abstractions, included in the upcoming Museum show is an ethereal painting that evolves from subtle gradations of blue, white and russet into imagery evocative of a towering forest.

While Bohlen’s paintings are generally pure abstractions, included in the upcoming Museum show is an ethereal painting that evolves from subtle gradations of blue, white and russet into imagery evocative of a towering forest. In a similar color palate, yet an altogether different execution, is a painting that while still abstract, lends itself to representational interpretation by the viewer. In a vast leap from Bohlen’s canvases of soothing blues, are her fully abstract paintings dominated by passionate reds and yellows, lightly tinged with green, blue or violet.”
