A refreshing break and departure from her more weighty concerns that are caught up in her more observational and naturalistic yet playful works - it’s with UYU and Assteriskats that Soey is able to let go of any self-consciousness of content or concept and run freely and rampantly in the playground. This is the third and final colorway of Uyu & Assteriskat, Midnight Red.
Soey Milk was born in Seoul, Korea and moved to the United States at the age of eleven. Milk’s early path was leading her to become a ballerina, but after she was first introduced to painting, she immediately found a new passion to pursue. Still, some of the ballet dimensions remained, as she was still strongly drawn to human anatomy, which was a cornerstone for the development of her photorealistic style.
