Yoonjung Shim’s work is all about geometry. Grids, diagonals, and tessellations are a frequent feature of her compositions, which are often inspired by the patterns in fabrics and buildings. Although her work is resemblant of contemporary minimal design, it is created through the process of traditional intaglio ‘etching’. This ancient practice prohibits perfection. Precise lines and clear backgrounds are a near impossibility on an etching plate. So, it is through this mismatch – this fusion of old and modern – that Yoonjung explores the paradoxes of geometric composition and the imperfections of human strokes. Yoonjung Shim (b. South Korea) is a printmaker based in London and a member of Southbank Printmakers and Printmakers Council. Her works have been selected for a number of major exhibitions including the RA summer exhibition, the National Original Print Exhibition and Woolwich Contemporary Art Fair. Her works have also been exhibited in New York, Ireland, Spain and France and included into the V&A Museum print archives. Yoonjung received the London Print Studio award at Print City exhibition, Morley gallery.
