"I am interested in different world cultures - their beliefs about life and death, customs and folk tales. While looking at a world of conflict, I imagined gods from different religions sharing food and music together." - Yunmee Kyong
Kyong creates a universal world
of different cultures and religions in a vivid color and detailed texture.
She incorporates the landscapes of
the
countries
she chooses or has visited as backgrounds of her work. Hence, the landscape
becomes a place where all kinds of human could exist and share the moment
together. She is also interested in the colors and patterns of the clothing
and costume
from different countries and combines them into her work. Each element
of different cultures meets in a universal landscape and creates a harmony
of
life.
It is Kyong's wish that the world could be together and all human could
live happily without any conflictions.
Yunmee Kyong attained BFA at Kingston University, Kingston upon Thames (Surrey, UK) and MFA at School of Visual Arts (New York, NY). She has exhibited at Flux Factory (Queens, NY), Metaphor Contemporary (Brooklyn, NY), School of Visual Arts Gallery (New York, NY) and many more. Her work has been published in American Illustration, D & AD Annual, Illustration Now, Curvy 3, Society of Illustration. She also works for wide range of clients such as New York Times, New Yorker, Los Angels Times, Whole Foods Market Magazine, 21 Design Magazine and many others.
