Calm in the Landscape :
American Wildfires & Wilderness

Youngsuk Suh’s recent work investigates wildfires and the unexpected atmospherics he encountered within those zones, and continues an exploration of the changing myth of the American wilderness.     Arching over both of these series is his close observation of man’s dynamic relationship with nature.  His work is informed by the language of 19th and 20th century landscape painters and photographers whose scenes of grand natural beauty inspired awe and wonder in the viewer.

 
Youngsuk Suh holds a BFA in Photography from the Pratt Institute, New York and an MFA from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where he taught large format photography and digital printing.   He is currently Assistant Professor of Photography at the University of California at Davis.  His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and is held in museum and corporate collections.
