Miryu Yoon (b.1991) introduces human figures as a means of painterly experimentation and as sites of unfolding events. Her practice explores how fictional beings and sensory experiences intersect with real individuals to take on embodied form. Within carefully constructed situations and settings, she stages figures under varied physical conditions. Moving between digital photography and canvas, Yoon investigates processes of organizing the pictorial plane, through which she imagines and experiments with alternative environments and modes of existence for other species. Born in Korea, she currently lives and works in Seoul. She received her BA in Art History and Theory and BFA in Painting from Hongik University and her MFA from Seoul National University. Her recent solo exhibitions include Two Serpents (WWNN, Seoul, 2024) and Do Wetlands Scare You? (Foundry Seoul, 2024). She has also participated in group exhibitions such as The 25th SONGEUN Art Award (SONGEUN, Seoul, 2025) and Take My Eyes Off (Buk-Seoul Museum of Art, 2025). Currently, Yoon is participating in the artist-in-residence program of Goyang Residency run by MMCA. Her works are in the collections of the Government Art Bank, Incheon Foundation for Arts & Culture, and the Jeonbuk Museum of Art.
