SubjectGB Artist Focus ⑩Yoon JunYeong

GB Artist Focus offers opportunity to meet artists in person, hear their stories, and gain deeper insight into their creative worlds. The program is organized in collaboration with cultural and artistic spaces in Gwangju. 

 

The tenth featured artist, Yoon JunYeong, explores the emotional terrains shaped by human existence—anxiety, loss, and the subtle moments of recovery that emerge between them. Her paintings reflect the perspective of looking in from the outside, gazing at those who have lost their place, been cast out, or can no longer call themselves ‘I’. Through these figures, she traces relationships, forms of coexistence, and archetypal images of the inner self. Yoon’s artistic world and approach to painting will be explored in greater depth through a conversation with curator Kim Sungwoo during this program.
