Annette Hur's Color-Driven Landscape Paintings Bridge South Korea and New York

Annette Hur creates landscape paintings that channel emotional themes like passion, disillusion, and self-realization through color. Her work connects her native South Korea with her current home in New York, exploring a watery, migratory journey between shores. Hur moved to the United States in 2013, initially studying at the University of Chicago under portrait and landscape painter Susanna Coffey. She later attended Columbia University, working with abstract painter Gregory Amenhoff, whom she describes as a mentor. Her studio is located in Red Hook, Brooklyn. The artist's biography, shared during a Zoom studio visit, reveals a personal narrative of escape and adaptation. Her painting "Horizon Study 2" dates to 2025. Hur's practice is represented by Chart Gallery in New York, with photography by Adam Reich accompanying the coverage.
