Yoon Jiwon
Born in 1961 in South Korea, Yoon Jiwon, a distinguished artist, has crafted a unique artistic identity rooted in landscapes that transcend mere representation. Her academic journey includes a Master's in Painting from Accademia di Belle Arti Brera, Milano, in 2010, and a Bachelor's in Painting from the same institution in 2007. Additionally, she holds a Bachelor's in Illustration from Istituto Europeo di Design Milano in 2004.
Solo exhibitions like "Memories" at Gallery Insa Art, Seoul (2023), and "Memory and Place" at Donhwamun Gallery, Seoul (2021), showcase Yoon Jiwon's distinctive approach to portraying seemingly ordinary scenes. Her canvases, dominated by subdued white tones, convey landscapes infused with solitude and melancholy. Minimal details contribute to a sense of unreality, transforming commonplace scenes into something unfamiliar and dreamlike.
Yoon Jiwon's evolution is marked by a shift towards incorporating figures into her landscapes, introducing a subjective element and departing from an objective perspective. This change suggests a deeper exploration of human experiences within the landscapes, evident in recent works featuring increased human presence.
Her strength lies in offering a new aesthetic perspective, discovering novelty in the familiar. Emphasizing skillful composition involving frontality, dead-end situations, and intimate depictions, Yoon Jiwon creates a unique and emotionally resonant viewing experience. Her landscapes, both familiar and strange, resonate with universal experiences, inviting viewers to explore memory and emotion through her art. In essence, her artistic journey transcends traditional landscapes, providing a source of aesthetic freshness and a deeper connection to shared emotions.
