Suki Maguire Nude Paintings

Korean, b. 1949

Suki Maguire (Kim Jong Sook) was born in Seoul, Korea in 1949. She grew up in Seoul, and always displayed a propensity for the arts. As a largely self-taught artist, Maguire's style reflects the strength and a passion that grew out of these struggles, as the Korean War broke out in 1950. However, after finishing school, the demands of work and family all precluded her from becoming seriously involved in her beloved art.

Over a quarter of a century of teaching at the Seoul British School has allowed Maguire some outlet for her creative impulses through instructing the children or setting up seasonal displays at the school. When Maguire felt it was time to get serious about doing her work, she enrolled at Hongik University's Adult Education Art Program. There she had the precious opportunity of studying under some of Korea's most illustrious artists.

Maguire has always retained her own unique personal approach to painting. An illustration of this is in her methodology for painting nudes, her first major area of focus in her rediscovered art career. Maguire would go into a Korean public bathhouse for women, without brush or camera, where she would employ her hands and arms to sketch invisibly, her chosen subject in her artistic mind's eye.
