Summary: Inspired by folk art, crafts, and old children’s books, Saelee Oh’s artwork is an examination of anthromorphic imagery and visual storytelling. Her second solo show, I Walk and Rivers Run, explores the relationships between a grand cast of characters in enchanting environments, together spurring metaphoric meaning and symbolism. Personified mammals such as horses, birds, and snails, along with aquatic life from sea horses to whales, coexist in surreal, elaborate settings. Peppered throughout are the escapades of a girl wandering the dreamy scenes, welcomed and embraced by nature’s warm creatures.
