Overview

The publication Jongsuk Yoon is dedicated to the practice of the South Korean-German artist, painted works that articulate her visions in ever more expansive formats since 2012. Her gestural, vividly colored “landscapes of the soul” are not merely representations of nature but poetically charged spaces of encounter where imagination, memory, and cultural affiliations overlap. In her painterly approach to Kŭmgangsan—the mountain range on the border between North and South Korea—the artist refers to the political dimension of historical murals. Oscillating between paradigms of East Asian traditions and Western modernism, Yoon’s transcultural visual language renders landscape, beyond national topographies, as a space of resonance where identity and a relation to the world can unfold. Essays by Heike Eipeldauer and Adam Budak, as well as a conversation between Jongsuk Yoon and Hans Ulrich Obrist, provide a deeper understanding of the artist’s work and situate her unique position within contemporary art.
