Justin Yoon (b. 1991, Los Angeles, California) is a Brooklyn based painter. Early childhood memories of American junk food, late night old Hollywood movies on the TV, and listening to jazz in the car with his family on long drives significantly affected him to create a world of romantic melancholia, synthetic colors, and casual lostness of being. With no specific emotions provoked, the group of characters reoccur over and over in a deeply synthetic yet ambiguous dream-like landscape, continuing on this never ending “Highschool Reunion”. The viewer becomes a part of this experience, which is vaguely both universal yet deeply personal. Justin holds a B.F.A in Illustration from Parsons School for Design, NY. His work has been exhibited at The Hole, Anat Ebgi Gallery, Taymour Grahne Projects, Mindy Solomon Gallery, Fragments Gallery, Museum of Sex, Shelter Gallery, Hannah Traore Gallery, Gallery Belenius, Investec Art Fair, ART021 Shanghai Contemporary Art Fair, Felix Art fair, Hashimoto Contemporary, Jonathan Carver Moore Gallery and more. Justin’s work has been published in New American Paintings, Banana Magazine, Crotch Magazine, Math Magazine, Lezs Magazine, and more.
