SOYEON SHIN’s paintings act as a reflection of her inner thoughts, a surreal interpretation of her mental landscape. Shin focuses on the practice of seeing and capture the small, often unnoticed details of daily life.

The vibrant and introspective colors in her acrylic on canvas paintings illustrate an elegant and diverse understanding of the world. Grounded by South Korea's minimalist and industrial architectural styles, she skillfully navigates the interplay between nature's gifts and man-made objects. The artist's paintings transcend time and space, capturing the essence of her local cityscape.

SOYEON SHIN received her MFA in sculpture from Pratt Institute and her BFA in sculpture from Seoul National University. Her work was exhibited at Mrs. Gallery, Maspeth, NY; Hashimoto Contemporary, New York, NY; Nino Mier Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; New York Art Residency and Studios (NARS) Foundation, Brooklyn, NY; Steuben South Gallery, Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, NY; and more. Her work was published in Hyperallergic, Booooooom, New American Paintings, The Brooklyn Rail, among others.
