Celeste Dupuy-Spencer, Artist Who Confronted Injustice, Dies at 46

Acclaimed painter Celeste Dupuy-Spencer has passed away at the age of 46 in Los Angeles, just days before a scheduled solo exhibition at Jeffrey Deitch’s gallery. Known for her visceral and politically charged figurative works, Dupuy-Spencer gained national recognition for her contributions to the 2017 Whitney Biennial and the 2018 Made in LA biennial. Her practice often deconstructed American mythologies, the rise of domestic fascism, and global human rights issues, including a high-profile stance against the conflict in Gaza.

suki seokyeong kang dead

Suki Seokyeong Kang, a South Korean artist known for blending traditional Korean heritage with contemporary abstract forms, died on Sunday at age 47 (48 in Korean reckoning) after a battle with cancer. Her New York representative, Tina Kim Gallery, confirmed the cause. Kang's work spanned painting, textiles, sculpture, and installation, often incorporating postminimalist structures, craft techniques, and industrial materials. Notable series include her precarious "Grandmother Tower" sculptures and "Mountain" pieces made from curved steel and thread. She was born in Seoul in 1977, studied at Ewha Womans University and the Royal College of Art in London, and later became a professor of painting.

suki seokyeong kang sculptor dead

Suki Seokyeong Kang, a Korean sculptor known for reimagining traditional Korean artistic forms in contemporary sculpture, died on Sunday at age 48 after a years-long battle with cancer. Her passing was announced by Seoul’s Kukje Gallery and her New York representative, Tina Kim Gallery. Kang’s work drew from centuries-old practices such as Joseon Dynasty painting and 600-year-old musical notation, translating them into highly conceptual, visually seductive sculptures that appeared in biennials worldwide, including Gwangju and Venice, and in museum surveys such as a 2023 show at Seoul’s Leeum Museum of Art. At the time of her death, her largest-ever US exhibition was on view at the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, featuring her "Mountain" series inspired by the traditional Korean style si-seo-hwa.
