You-Hyun Jeon
Point-line-plane artist
You-Hyun is an artist whose work prominently features themes of cars, roads, navigation, animals, plants, and people. His distinctive style involves using simple shapes, which he then intricately fills with stripes and dots to complete his artworks. These stripes and dots are more than just decorative elements; they represent his personal expression of freedom. This technique allows You-Hyun to infuse each piece with a dynamic, lively quality that captures the essence of movement and liberty.
