“Painting is like keeping a diary,” says artist Hiejin Yoo — “everyday scenes, but translated through feeling.”
Born in Germany, based in Los Angeles, Yoo has quickly become a defining voice of her generation. Her work has been shown at the FLAG Art Foundation (NY), ICA Miami, K11 Art Museum (Shanghai), and Gana Art (Seoul), and is held in major collections including the Pérez Collection, FLAG, Xiao Museum, the High Museum of Art, and the Hort Family Collection.
The painter turns fleeting emotion into color and rhythm. Blooming Days I, II, III, on view now at BlackBook Art Gallery (The Hamptons), marks a continuation of Yoo’s diaristic language: quiet moments connecting nature and humanity, rendered with rich gesture and emotional clarity.
