Overview

Sangha Yoon (b. 1995) is a Korean artist known for his distinctive artistic style and thoughtful use of color, created through repeated brushstrokes. His work explores the blurred boundaries between reality and imagination, inviting viewers to reflect on moments where these lines become unclear.

 

Sangha’s art is driven by the question: "Can art break the boundary between reality and imagination?" Through this inquiry, he depicts worlds where science fiction, fantasy, and storytelling intersect. His work features boys playing with construction debris, migrants in constant motion, and spore-like dolls with multiple personalities, reflecting a world shaped by cycles of creation and extinction.

Sangha’s work has been exhibited in South Korea, China, the UK, and the Netherlands, including a recent showcase at Art Busan. His pieces are part of collections at the Seoul Museum of Art, Gwangju Museum of Art, and Chosun University Museum of Art.
