YANG Semine (b.1985, Seoul, Korea) lives and works in Dijon, France. She holds a BFA and MFA from the École Nationale Supérieure d’Art de Dijon, and a degree in Fine Art from the Seoul National University of Science and Technology. Her work was recently included in an institutional exhibition The Drawing Centre Show, curated by Joe Bradley, Franck Gautherot, Seungduk Kim and Tobias Pils, at Le Consortium, Dijon in July 2022 and a group presentation with Galerie Marguo at Art Paris fair in April 2022.
