Until the next exhibition, the next performance. For artists, income gaps are an unavoidable reality. For fellow artists forced into predatory loans just to afford paint, canvas, and studio rent, proceeds from this artwork become the Seed Fund — extending a fair hand at fair rates.

About the Artist
Yun Gyeom is a painter who translates the sentiments of healing and serenity into oil on canvas. Through works such as 〈Serenity Fortress〉, she unfolds the textures of daily life and inner peace through soft colors and forms. Together with artist Lee Yuji, she has presented two-person exhibitions including 〈1st Track—Healing〉 at Seojeong Art Center (2017) and 〈Exploring Life〉 at GG2 Gallery (2025).
Artist Statement
The act of repeatedly drawing lines shows me, who cannot see the world incompletely. While so absorbed, I fall into a nameless state of self-loss. As lines are drawn and filled in, a new world that cannot be defined appears on the canvas. This world reveals me, who has no choice but to see the world differently from others.
The forms that emerge through these utterly simple yet repetitive movements look like the path of seeking that leads me toward myself. Through line-drawing, or line-tracing, I explore the sculptural variations of repeated labor. As countless moments of choice accumulate along the boundary between the necessary and the contingent, the resulting 'pattern of lines' shifts into the inscrutable images of nature—cactus, undersea coral, clouds, waves, forests, mountain ranges—or into imagery, the unfixed mental image.
