Winnie Weiyun Szu (司惟云) is a Taiwanese artist based in Chicago whose practice explores the threshold between abstraction and landscape. Her paintings emerge from quiet observations of nature, shifts of light, air, and distance that turn the familiar into spaces of contemplation. Through layered processes of drawing and painting, she constructs atmospheric surfaces where perception drifts between clarity and dissolution.

Szu’s work reveals a sensitivity to what lies between seeing and feeling. The landscapes she paints are not depictions of place but traces of time, motion, and inner rhythm. Each mark acts as both gesture and boundary, suggesting that the act of painting itself is a form of translation—of language, emotion, and memory.

Rooted in an experience of cultural in-betweenness, Szu’s abstractions search for a space where opposites, presence and absence, stillness and movement, coexist in quiet equilibrium.
