Although the British artist Issy Wood is only 30, she’s already in high demand as a painter and as a musician. The mega-dealer Larry Gagosian has expressed interest in her canvases while the producer Mark Ronson released her debut EP album with his label, Zelig, last year. Wood’s figurative paintings are hard to get a fix on: objects and images without affinity are suddenly flash frozen in surreal parity. She paints a mod yellow phone with tiny women climbing on it, or pairs a vegetable with a sweater (or she might revert to tradition and pair it with her grandmother’s china—“Whose taste I hate,” she told Frieze, “but want to take seriously”). In Wood’s first solo exhibition in Korea, 40 works celebrate her uncanny ability to elevate banality. —Elena Clavarino
