Jongsuk Yoon sansui

This publication is a premiere. For although Jongsuk Yoon, born in Korea and now living in Düsseldorf, can look back on a 15-year career — with embroidered canvases full of emblematic lyricism as well as dreamlike, abstract yet realistic paintings and drawings — the paintings she has been doing since 2012 represent a fresh start for the artist. With a seeming lightness of hand, Jongsuk Yoon accomplishes a virtually impossible feat: she combines the European tradition of painting with an Asian formal sensibility, without however reconciling the two worlds. They encounter one another as strangers in her works. Looking at Yoon's new paintings and drawings with eyes schooled by European art, they appear at first glance like abstract traces of subjective expressive painting. Despite their painterly alacrity, however, a great languidness soon becomes palpable, a tranquil quality that goes beyond the artist's personal signature. (Tayfun Belgin, Erich Franz and Karl Heinz Rummeny)
