So Yoon Lym
So Yoon Lym likens her practice to the art of Taekwondo. She believes that making art is a philosophical commitment, similar to Taekwondo whose tenants are “courtesy, integrity, perseverance, patience, self-discipline and invincibility of spirit”.
So Yoon Lym (born 1967 in Seoul, Korea) moved to Uganda in 1967 until the age of 7. She came to live in Northern New Jersey in 1974, where she currently resides. Lym pursued her studies at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she received a BFA in Painting and then at Columbia University, where she received an MFA in Painting in 1991. Since then, she has exhibited her work at the United States Embassy in Djibouti, Centro Provincal de Artes Plastica y Disenos in Santiago, Cuba, Coreana Museum in Seoul, Korea, Studio Museum of Harlem, International Print Center New York, Paterson Museum and the Newark Museum, among many other places.

Andreas Fischer
Andreas Fischer’s work is a meditation on representation delivered as a set of strange little paintings and drawings. The work investigates how we see and remember objects, and in some instances how signs and symbols from other parts of our lives can append to these objects. The subject matter is familiar and Fischer’s paintings spring from an interior space as if the object were being held aloft and examined in a neutral region, stripped of as much context as possible. His work operates not as rendering but as impression that attempts to arrest fleeting notions and invite viewers to project into them.
Andreas Fischer has a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, an MFA in Studio Art and an MA in Art History from The University of Illinois at Chicago, and attended the Universität der Kunste, Berlin. Exhibitions and projects include Andrew Rafacz Gallery, Chicago; Devening Projects, Chicago; Hudson Franklin Gallery, New York; Hungryman Gallery, San Francisco; The Hyde Park Art Center, Chicago; Important Projects, Oakland; Kavi Gupta Gallery, Chicago; Lamontagne Gallery, Boston; The Mattress Factory, Pittsburgh; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and Regina Rex, Brooklyn.
