“My work is an exploration of the intricate relationship between perception and representation, inviting viewers to embark on a captivating journey into the depths of human experience. Through a series of four large-scale paintings, I challenge conventional notions of reality by employing a bold negative color palette and utilizing the human body as a canvas.”
Yoon Han is a multidisciplinary artist based in Seoul and Toronto. Yoon had had many opportunities to travel around the world as a young child, which, in result, established a different linguistic and cultural barriers. Yoon projects the relationship between the cultural minority and majority onto her art. Yoon works mostly with graphite, acrylic, oil paints and occasionally clay. Yoon’s main themes surrounding her artwork include the emotional humane facial features and realistic anatomy in her subjects. Yoon’s style is experimental: mixing surrealism within the context of her works, and realistic features, her works are grounded in the experiences she encounters. Her practice extends beyond painting to photography, sculpture and installation.
