Jaemi Yoo is a Korean artist who creates artworks about relationships and narratives derived from physical, visual, perceptual boundaries present in contemporary lives while focusing on the materiality of various media. She grew up experiencing both Eastern and Western culture, which kindled her interest in the concept of one’s identity as an individual, as a creator, as a member of contemporary society. It soon became a starting point for her artistic journey to explore the notion of perspective and relationship changes that are inextricably linked to socioeconomic, cultural, and historical boundaries. Yoo translates this notion onto canvases which function as physical, visual, and perceptual frames to audience. She has developed a unique visual language by utilizing Eastern and Western painting aesthetic, conceptualization, motifs, and techniques to effectively communicate emotions and narratives that are created by different relationships in contemporary era: between individuals, communities, objects, and viewers etc.

Since graduating from Rhode Island School of Design(RISD) in 2012, Yoo has worked as a graphic designer, illustrator, and fashion designer. She currently lives and works in Seoul, Korea.
