yun wee dong CV

Using watercolour on paper in his works, Korean painter Yun Wee Dong shows off the fragility of his subjects in his compositions. With characteristic finesse, the artist painstakingly captures the details – such as hair particles, pores, and even layers of fingernails, to achieve his delicate style of realism.

At once sensual and hyperrealistic, closer inspection of Yun’s work reveals contrasting imperfections such as the veins on the subject’s arms, the position of the limbs, and the thoughtfulness of the gaze. The details come together to present a contrasting portrayal that takes the viewer beyond the initial impression.
