Younhee Paik is spaced out; she loves space, and we love her space. The Korean-American painter often works in oil on aluminum sheets, which gives her star fields and supernovae glimmery depth. She superimposes the skyscapes with blueprints of cathedrals, giving the finished works house-of-worship commentary without getting in the way of the background's deep sheen and ponder-inducing formations. At "Exploration and Celebration," Paik's work joins that of Hyesook Park and David Mark, both of whom also show gorgeous near-abstractions of a meditative nature.
