Artist Bio:

Amy Moon (b.1999, Seoul, South Korea) is a visual artist working across  painting, drawing, and collage. She creates layered, mixed-media  paintings exploring themes of perception, transformation, and belonging.  Her work, shaped by her experiences moving through urban ecosystems of  Seoul, Los Angeles, and New York, captures the dissolution and  reconstruction of identity through ripped posters and natural phenomena  to explore how we perceive and contain the uncontainable. Her work has  been exhibited at IRL Gallery, Hox Gallery, SVA, U.S Department of  Education Headquarters, and various artist-run spaces in New York and  Los Angeles. She received her BA from Columbia University and currently  lives and works in New York, NY.

Artist Statement:

My worked explores themes of perception, belonging, and transformation.  In exploring these themes I’m really interested in creating images  through a layered painting processes where these states of becoming and  erosion/ decay are unfolding simultaneously.


While my visual language draws from landscape and natural phenomena, it  does so through a mediated lens—one shaped by technology and  screen-based perception. I seek inspirations from construction sites or  scaffoldings as they are markers of transition - architectures where  identity feels unsettled. I reference these ripped walls or unfinished  walls in my work as abstracted, reworked surfaces to evoke the sense of  transformation.


Water, cyclical and elusive, is important for my process materially and  symbolically. I study how it seeps and pools across surfaces, reacts to  pressure, and disperses layered applications of airbrush, ink, pastel,  and paint. By mixing these materials, I work in between painting and  drawing, creating a tension between clarity and blur through both  control and surrender to the materials. Beyond the physical, water  carries symbolic weight in my work, evoking migration, place-lessness,  and interconnectedness.


My work invites viewers to ask: How do we locate ourselves in  ever-changing landscapes, both physical and psychological? How does  technology contribute to our sense of perpetual flux? And what is real,  what is remembered, and what is simply a matter of perception?
