Rahee Yoon (1984) is a Seoul-based artist. Having majored in extensive crafts of metalwork, textile, ceramics, and woodworking, she opened her own studio in 2017 and has presented a wide array of artworks.
Her works are defined by the unique subtly imbued in each piece. The pieces are essentially an experiment with natures of various materials: she blends the material’s raw features with serendipitous effects which result in erratic yet straightforward visuals. These boundary-transcending pieces express themselves in a simple and reticent manner, through composed and intuitive forms.
In particular, Yoon has abandoned the conventionally perceived meaning of the noun acrylic amidst profound research on the key material acrylic for over 8 years. Her works are manifested based on the image and juxtaposition of the adjective as modifier and verb as a state of being, such as ‘to permeate deeply’, ‘subtly refract’, and ‘simply overlap’.
All of her works and interpretations are created from her own hands. They become highly aesthetic objet d’arts through close collaborations with special engineers in Seoul and small workshops across Korea.
