Gallery Hyundai is pleased to present Living a dream, the first solo exhibition of Katherine Bradford (b. 1942) in Korea, on view from May 27 through July 12. Bradford is widely regarded as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary American painting today.

Her recurring figures, such as mothers, swimmers, and superheroes, drift through boundless spaces of water, outer space, and night, evoking both the vulnerability of human existence and the complexities of relationships. Through compositions where the everyday intersects with the transcendent, Bradford has long explored the solitude and exhilaration of being human. Her dreamlike yet deeply resonant palette, along with her fluid movement between abstraction and figuration, are among the defining characteristics of her practice.

The exhibition title, Living a Dream, encapsulates Bradford’s signature floating figures and dreamlike colors. Featuring approximately 20 recent paintings, the exhibition offers a broad survey of the central motifs and emotional sensibilities that define her oeuvre.
