Yoon-Hee: Internalizing the Characteristics of Materials

Published April 24, 2023 09:59 PM

▲ Yoon-Hee, En spirale, 2021, Pigment on paper, 97.5 x 134.5 cm

Born in Gaeseong in 1950, Yoon-Hee is a representative French artist who completed her bachelor's and master's degree in the Department of Western Studies at Ewha Womans University in 1974, and has been living and working in France for over forty years since the 1980s. Her studio is located near the Pyrénées Mountains in southern France, of the desolate and rough Karst terrain. She is a bold, one-of-a-kind artist who has cut ties with modern urban civilization and melted natural materials to permeate within nature, installing works in harmony with nature. She currently has a solo exhibition Non-Finito at Indang Museum of Daegu Health College in Daegu, and will hold another solo show at Ludwig Museum in Koblenz, Germany in June 2022 following this exhibition at Leeahn Gallery, Seoul. Yoon-Hee’s works are kept in the permanent collections of Musée Cernuschi, Paris; Busan Museum of Art; and Château de Oiron, Deux-Sèvres.
