About
Ara Youn is a Korean-born, UK-based artist whose work is distinguished by its bold yet ethereal use of colour and light. Her pronounced compositions focus on the ethos of the scene. Ara finds inspiration in textiles, gardens and light, which she meticulously incorporates into her works to explore the central theme, duality.
