Yooyun Yang: Passing Time

1 Jun-22 Jul 2023
PV 31 May 2023, 6-8pm

Stephen Friedman Gallery
London W1S 3LQ

Overview

Yang’s atmospheric and enigmatic paintings are cloaked in darkness and explore the emotional states of people; with scenes conveying existential thoughts and feelings of solitude. Yang frequently conceals faces and subtly captures intimate moments. By using shadow and composition to create distance between the viewer and the subject, the artist articulates a sense of isolation in what she describes as this ‘age of anxiety’.
