Dual Realities: Peony and Vessel

Medium: Acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas

Dimension: 36 x 24 x 1.5 (inches)

Year: 2025


This painting explores the tension between the fleeting bloom of the peony and the enduring solidity of the vessel. Inspired by Korean folk art, it reflects dualities such as fragility and strength, presence and absence, and the experience of living between cultures. Within its surreal space, natural and sculptural forms intertwine—inviting reflection on memory, time, and beauty’s coexistence with impermanence.

Beyond Boundaries -Kelly Haejung Paik

This public art installation, Beyond Boundaries: Surreal Visions, is part of the Seattle Restored exhibition activation and is now on view at Mixed Pantry in Belltown.

 

The installation features a series of surrealist paintings shaped by memory, perception, and the tension between stillness and transformation. The works reflect an ongoing exploration of ambiguous spaces—where time feels suspended and internal experience alters the visible world.

Bellevue, WA 98005
March 28 – April 2, 2025​

 

This exhibition, presented by the City of Bellevue’s Cross-Cultural Center without Walls, brings together diverse artistic voices to explore themes of identity, heritage, and place.

Peony Vase: The Light Within reimagines the traditional Korean moon jar as a vessel of both form and light. The peony flowers, symbols of beauty and prosperity, are illuminated within a spectrum of cascading colors—red, orange, yellow, green, and blue. These hues merge seamlessly with the jar, dissolving boundaries between the physical and the ethereal.​
