Nu Ryu was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. She received her BFA in Visual Communication Design from Hongik University. Throughout her time there she was fascinated with creating stories and making animations, movies, and illustrated books. She, however, found herself much more interested in communicating and developing her artistic vocabulary through drawing and painting. She moved to New York and earned her MFA at the School of Visual Arts in Illustration. Nu's work has been exhibited widely and internationally in numerous galleries and art festivals. She has won many art awards, and her work has been published/featured in famous art magazines. You can find more about the artist here:www.nuryu.com
Yuriko Katori was born and raised in Ibaraki, Japan and currently lives and works in New York City. She received her BA in Literature from Waseda University in Tokyo and MFA from the School of Visual Arts. She has been continuously interested in the contradictions in the world, such as reality/dream, myself/others, and human/nature. Her work has been shown internationally in numerous solo and group shows in various galleries, including Kokoro Studio in San Francisco, Lana Santorelli Gallery in New York, National Arts Club in New York, The Pyramida Centre for Contemporary Art in Israel, and 20/20 gallery in New York.
