Rahee Yoon
South Korean, b. 1984
Rahee Yoon is a Seoul-based designer and artist. She majored in extensive crafts, including metalwork, textiles, ceramics, and woodworking. In 2017, she opened her own studio and has since presented a wide array of artworks. Her works are characterized by the unique subtlety imbued in each piece. They essentially represent an experiment with the nature of various materials, blending their raw features with serendipitous effects, resulting in erratic yet straightforward visuals. These boundary-transcending pieces express themselves in a simple and reticent manner through composed and intuitive forms.
In particular, Yoon has challenged the conventional perception of acrylic, conducting profound research on this key material for over 8 years. Her works manifest based on the image and juxtaposition of adjectives as modifiers and verbs as states of being, such as 'to permeate deeply,' 'subtly refract,' and 'simply overlap.'
All of her works and interpretations are created by her own hands. They achieve a highly aesthetic quality through close collaborations with specialized engineers in Seoul and small workshops across Korea
