The Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art will open an exhibit of Heeseop Yoon’s large-scale drawings in the iMOCA CityWay Gallery in the Alexander Hotel.

Yoon is known for her large-scale line drawing installations and also her very intricate black and white drawings.  iMOCA is displaying several of large black and white murals and an installation created specifically for this exhibition.  

Yoon’s work is about memory and perception within cluttered spaces, places where everything is jumbled and time becomes ambiguous without the presence of people. As Yoon explains, “I construct a view and then I draw freehand without erasing. As I correct ‘mistakes’ the work results in double or multiple lines, which reflect how my perception has changed over time and makes me question my initial perception.” 

Heeseop Yoon was born and raised in Seoul, Korea. She holds her BFA from Chung-ang University, Seoul, Korea and an MFA from City College of New York. She has had solo and two-person shows at Triple Candie, March Gallery, and Bose Pacia, all in NYC; Arario Gallery, Seoul; University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill; and Monmouth University, West Long Branch, NJ. She lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. Her work may be seen at: http://www.saparcontemporary.com/artists/#/heeseop-yoon/

This exhibition is presented in partnership with iMOCA, Buckingham Companies and CityWay.
