Tracing the impermanence of presence through gestural abstraction, Yeonju Son composes visual spaces where memory, body, and time dissolve into fluid cycles of becoming.
Yeonju Son (b.1996) is a Korean multidisciplinary artist whose work engages with abstraction through painting, drawing, installation, and object-based compositions. Her practice explores temporal fragility, spatial sensitivity, and impermanence, often materialized through repetitive gestures such as scratching, rubbing, and layering. Informed by philosophical inquiries into identity, memory, and the nature of time, her work dissolves traditional boundaries between material and self. Son holds an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London, and a BFA in Korean Painting from Ewha Womans University, Seoul. Recent exhibitions include EUROSTARZ (Tick Tack, Antwerp), The Bomb Factory Artists Christmas Exhibition (London), and Resonant Silence (Buysse Gallery, Knokke).
