Eumpa Eumpa -  Yunyoung Kim Solo Exhibition

Curator 

Form: Exhibition 
Date: May 17 - 31, 2023
Venue: Rabbit And Tiger Gallery, Seoul, S.Korea 
Artist: Yunyoung Kim 
Music: Ohelen Yunyoung Kim employs thread as her medium to delve into the intricacies of unresolved emotions and their interplay, which emerge when humans, nature, and objects become entangled with each other. With a delicate touch, she examines the residual imprints of feelings that pierce through the fabric, sometimes quietly and sometimes violently, with a tender gaze. Her flatly presented landscapes feature recurring elements such as tree branches, fountains, and weights that serve as clues to capture the climactic moments that she boldly freezes.

"Eumpa Eumpa," Yunyoung Kim's first solo exhibition in Korea, draws inspiration from the sound of human respiration as one emerges from the water and exhales. Just as we desperately hold onto that momentary breath, the air that was trapped inside her will be released to meet the Korean audience through the spell of eum~pa~eum~pa~. The exhibition presents approximately 20 new works, including embroidered pieces and print drawings that she has woven over the past decade.
