Yooyun Yang
b. 1985, Seoul, Korea
Yooyun Yang (b. 1985) is a South Korean painter who transforms fleeting moments of daily life into quietly unsettling visual fragments. Trained in oriental painting, she uses diluted acrylic on jangji—traditional Korean handmade paper—to create smooth, absorbent surfaces where figures appear blurred, cropped, or partially hidden. Through this delicate interplay of familiarity and estrangement, Yang captures the solitude and emotional tension of contemporary urban life.
