Justin Yoon

Justin Yoon (b. 1991, Los Angeles, California) is a Brooklyn based painter. Early childhood memories of American junk food, late night old Hollywood movies on the TV, and listening to jazz in the car with his family on long drives significantly affected him to create a world of romantic melancholia, synthetic colors, and casual lostness of being. With no specific emotions provoked, the group of characters reoccur over and over in a deeply synthetic yet ambiguous dream-like landscape, continuing on this never ending "Highschool Reunion". The viewer becomes a part of this experience, which is vaguely both universal yet deeply personal. Justin holds a B.F.A in Illustration from Parsons School for Design, NY. His work has been exhibited at Anat Ebgi Gallery, Taymour Grahne Projects, Mindy Solomon Gallery, Museum of Sex, Shelter Gallery, Hannah Traore Gallery, Governors Island Art Fair, Felix Art fair, and more. Upcoming shows include a Group show with Fragments Gallery in 2022 (NY, NY), Taymour Grahne in 2023 (London, UK), Group with Hashimoto Gallery (LA, CA) and more. Justin's work has been published in Math Magazine, Lezs Magazine, and more.
