Youjin Yi
Youjin Yi
born 1980 in Gangneung, South Korea, lives and works in Munich
In her multifaceted artistic language, Youjin Yi unites objective references and abstract, painterly structures. Her works depict landscape spaces occupied by persons, animals, objects or hybrids. Seemingly dematerialized they fuse with their environment, emerge or take shape. Yi regards her works as metaphors for unconscious images and manifestations of ideas. Her art is distinguished by the variation of graphic and painterly qualities and the principle of an open coexistence of opposites. The artist developed a special iconography between the poles of imprints and cultures.
