Sukoo Hu

I am an emerging painter working at the intersection of environmental systems and realism. My practice explores how data, ecological change, and human infrastructure reshape landscapes. Drawing from systems thinking and sustainability research, I translate patterns—groundwater depletion, climate stress, agricultural transformation—into visual narratives through oil painting.

Rather than depicting nature as static, my work examines it as a dynamic system shaped by invisible forces: policy, extraction, consumption, and time. I am interested in how modeling, mapping, and environmental data can inform aesthetic form.

My work has been exhibited during New York Climate Week, and I continue to develop large-scale paintings that merge environmental inquiry with conceptual realism. Originals are available internationally.
