About the Artist
Hyun-Mi Yoo (1964, born and based in Seoul, South Korea) combines techniques across sculpture, painting and photography, often merging them into the same composition to challenge our perception of depth and dimension, real and reproduced. These interdisciplinary images arise from her interest in reinterpreting classic categories of art, and are informed by influences such as Freudian psychology, the female body, mysticism and symbols in traditional Korean painting.
