YOON HYANGRO

Yoon’s practice centers around digitally processing found images from popular media such as comics and animations to bring the deconstructed or reorganized images onto canvas, resulting in ‘pseudo-paintings’ as she calls them. For this exhibition, Yoon attempts to materialize her work process of Screenshot within the gallery space, where she creates image variations by playing with the image editing program, physical space and properties of different media during her investigation of the flatness of a surface.
