Hey, I’m Yeonjae. I’m joining here as curator.
ABOUT
Painting and painting installations form the core of my practice, utilizing a broad range of two-dimensional surfaces, from traditional canvas to industrial plastic sheets. Sculpture and ceramics are also part of my work, which I embrace and integrate with pleasure.
My strength lies in connecting seemingly unrelated layers and weaving them into a story, making intuitive leaps and filling the gaps with imagination. The aim is not to offer easy narratives, but rather to create space for uncertainty, layered meanings, and latent resistance.
