Metaplay soundtrack by DJ Sharlese of KEXP

Seattle-based abstract painter Soo Hong‘s show Metaplay includes large-scale paintings inspired by quotidian moments, internal dialogues and cultural queries expressed through vibrant color and brushstroke energized with a cadence the artist likens to her life’s soundtrack. Metaplay is on view until April 3, 2022.

To accompany the show, DJ Sharlese of KEXP has created a playlist inspired by Soo’s paintings that will be made available through the gallery.
