The show runs till the 2nd August, Open Tue-Sun 11-7pm
Growing up in Korea Yoon dreamed of being one of the blonde haired, blue-eyed beauties she admired on the covers of Western magazines. As an attempt to live out her fantasy she creates light-hearted and heavily stylised images of young Asian girls enhanced to fit this criteria. By combining the extremely different Eastern and Western cultures in her art she attempts to make her audience question their preconceptions. In addition, Yoon’s work is intricate in detail with many layers of meaning. Months of research into every aspect ensure that nothing you see is without significance.
Yoon presents with eight blonde fairy tale heroines from the stories of the Brother’s Grimm, ranging from Rapunzel and Cinderella to Little Red Riding Hood and Sleeping Beauty. Yoon specifically chose the number eight because in the Taoist faith it is seen to represent rebirth and relaxation as God rested on the eighth day after creating the world. This mixing of Western culture and Eastern religion is the axis of Yoon’s work.
