Currently based in Dijon, France, Korean artist Yang Semine presents a recent body of work that evinces an interest in entomology, with a special focus one dragonflies. These highly saturated paintings toe the line between abstraction and figuration, at times looking like dragonflies, women wearing traditional hanbok, or even talismans. To make these works, Yang often meditates and then creates numerous digital drawings before selecting which ones she’ll adapt to canvas. It’s a way to think about the dichotomies and affinities between the digital world and the natural world.
