JEFFREY NEMEROFF, PHIL KHO & GYE YUNG JUNG November 5, 2009

LA Artcore presents a three-artist exhibition featuring the latest work of painters Jeffrey Nemeroff, Phil Jong Kho and Gye Yung Jung.

Jeffrey Nemeroff is a Los Angeles native, whose interest in art began at an early age. Pursuing his passion, he obtained a B.A. degree in Art and Design, which developed into a prestigious career of twenty-two years, as art director of Architectural Digest.
Nemeroff is now able to devote himself full-time to his studio work and in this latest series of abstract paintings, Nemeroff uses thread and yarn as his drawing implements; creating provocative forms as he drapes the material over an acrylic ground. Multiple layers of oil glazes are applied as images slowly emerge, creating tension and movement between the foreground and background. These abstract forms, dictated in part by chance, also, reference natural or biological states, within a context that can be seen as representing either internal or external realms.

Korean-born artist Phil Jong Kho is a professor of art at the University of Suwon, in Seoul, Korea and will exhibit his newest series “Sound of Nature” at the LA Artcore Brewery Annex. His work stems from both his knowledge of contemporary painting, and traditional Asian painting techniques. These two philosophies are gracefully intertwined as he explores organic and abstract forms to express the harmony and rhythmic beauty he finds in nature.
Kho states: “The beauty of nature is deteriorating in this world we live in. In order to convey the importance of the natural world, I have portrayed many forms of nature, from pollen to butterflies.”
