Hyunmo Yang 양현모 (b. 1990, Seoul, South Korea) is an artist based in Düsseldorf, Germany. She studied traditional Korean painting and art history at Ewha Womans University, Seoul, and completed an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art, London.
Working between painting and language, Yang explores how fragmented text, memory, and erased narratives become visual form. Drawing from journals and fiction, she transfers handwritten phrases onto canvas and Korean jangji paper using bunchae, ink, and mineral pigment. Through rubbing, layering, and repetition, these fragments become paintings that evoke unstable meaning.
In 2026, Yang received the Karin Abt-Straubinger Foundation Prize, which included a residency in Stuttgart and a concluding exhibition. She has also participated in an artist residency at Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris. Her work has been exhibited in Paris, London, Düsseldorf, and Seoul, and is held in collections including Centre Artasia, Barclays Bank, and Rathbones Investment Management.
