Born in 1977 in Seoul, South Korea, Yujin Kang currently lives and works in Utah. She lived previously in Korea, Germany, Washington D.C., and New York. She earned a BFA and MFA from Seoul National University, Korea, and went on to obtain an MA from Goldsmith College, in London, England.

Yujin’s works are in the collection of Gwangju Museum of Art, Art Bank (Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art), Seoul Museum of Art, Youngeun Museum and Kumho Museum in Korea. Her works explore the tension between the self-referential autonomy of the paint and the representation of the external environment through the simultaneous expression of abstract and figurative illusion.
