Jin young yu biography

Working with a cast of semi-transparent sculpted characters, Yu Jinyoung explores the disparity between the outward and inward self. While her work has delved into a wide range of perspectives from that of long-suffering housewives to anxiety ridden workers catering to the whims of the uber-rich, Yu’s conceptual impetus is consistently clear: to acknowledge the anxiety of social situations, and to expose the implicit acts of cover-up one engages in as they adhere to social conventions. This implied critique of social mores is further developed through the use of two opposing materials, and the tropes they represent, as the disguises and clothing rendered in vibrantly painted plaster are juxtaposed with a yearning for invisibility embodied in the weightless and transparent PVC.

This is the young Korean artist’s first solo show in the United States, presented at Shoshana Wayne Gallery in Los Angeles in collaboration with Choi & Choi Gallery in Seoul, South Korea and Cologne, Germany. It is a smashing success.
