Yoon Heechang

BiographyYoon Heechang was born in 1963 in Hyogo, Japan. He graduated in 1986 in TokyoZokei University and did his masters at the Tama Art University, Tokyo. In his work the artist seeks to explore the connections between space, objects and the viewer. Yoon’s works are characterised by the use of soil and sand. He gathers the natural materials and fires them in high temperatures to produce tiny shavings of ceramic material, making pigments for his paintings. Read More

By using these natural materials as art materials the artist represents an abstracted landscape and reveals the virtues of the land itself, almost as he is seeking out the relationship between humanity and the natural world. Because of that, the sense of harmony, lightness, quietude and serenity are common feelings when appreciating his artworks. Permanent collections include Terada Collection at Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery and Tokoname City, Aichi, Japan.
