Mohyun Yang (b. 1990, Seoul, South Korea) is an artist based in Düsseldorf, Germany, with a background in Oriental painting and art history. She received her MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art in London, following her BFA and BA studies at Ewha W. University in Seoul.

 

Yang primarily works with traditional Korean materials such as ink, bunchae (powdered pigments), and jangji (Korean mulberry paper), exploring the dynamic tension between form and emptiness. Her practice incorporates elements of craftsmanship, including origami and paper cutting, to evoke themes of impermanence, transformation, and materiality.

 

Her work has been exhibited internationally, including in Paris, London, Assisi, and Seoul. She has participated in artist residencies at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris and Artestudio Ginestrelle in Assisi, Italy. Her pieces are held in several collections, such as Centre Artasia in Paris, Barclays Bank in London, and Rathbones Investment Management in London. In addition to her visual practice, Yang is also an active writer. She currently lives and works in Düsseldorf, continuing her interdisciplinary exploration through painting and writing.
