Born in Seoul, Korea in 1984 and raised and educated in Sydney, Australia, Yeah Gean graduated from the College of Fine Art at University of New South Wales, majored in Design. She worked as a designer in an Australian jewellery company for a year and one day she decided to see the world. She travelled 29 countries and 40 cities for 5 years, working as an international cabin crew. Currently, she is based in Seoul, Korea, working as a full-time artist. From her cosmopolitan life style, the artworks are inspired by semi-consciously created ‘after-images’ that are based on feelings and memories of cities where she has travelled before. Yeahgean shows a great interest of abstract and portrait painting as the list of her influential artists includes Klimt, Egon Schiele, Alphonse Mucha and Jackson Pollock. Education2017University of Liverpool, Applied psychology, Master of Science graduated2008 University of New South Wales, College of Fine Art (COFA), Bachelor of Design, graduated 2005 Seoul National University, College of Fine art, Bachelor of Design, attended as an exchange studentArt Prize2016 Korean Pop Art Award, Creative artist prizeExhibitionSolo exhibition2017, Nov. ‘The forest of nirvana’, Gallery Knot, Seoul 2017, Mar. ‘Something about beauty’ @ Kaffee Pot, Bucheon2016, Nov. ‘After-image’ @ Bandi café gallery, SeoulGroup exhibition 2018.05 Hug therapy, Ecorock gallery, Seoul
