Immersion in Black and White: Heeseop Yoon and Sui Park

About

Line is at the center of their pictorial and sculptural works. The installation explores their two worlds, two sides of perception. Their meeting is a contrasted encounter in black and white. The two Korean female artists express themselves in a singular way. Both of them have developed their own technique of creation. Sui Park creates a utopian world with cable ties and monofilament, weaving lines into three dimensions. Heeseop Yoon draws, collages and creates murals with masking tape. Both artists reflect on life and occupation of space with site adaptable works.

Park’s vibrant sculptures and wall works are airy and light.  Suspended in the air, on the floor or the wall, they are poetic and alive. They evoke the natural world, not only by their biomorphic shapes, but also their seemingly repetitive molecular like design process. Sui Park’s work meets Heeseop Yoon’s pieces in the architectural environment where both climb up walls and drop to the floor. Heeseop Yoon’s refined drawings are dense and intricate, her murals created with black masking tape spread through space with a worrying ease.  Most of Yoon’s creative process involves accumulations and collages. The artist is fascinated by the dystopian world of Urban piles, debris, storages. 

Both artists have a minimalist line, great sense of construction and impressive spatial presence. Their meeting allows for a cohabitation of Utopia and Dystopia. The threshold between them contracts and expands in a rich dialog.
