Jisoo You is a painter and sculptor who draws on the visual totems of modern life- jetplanes in flight, beauty packaging, and towering skyscrapers- subjects that inherently reference industry, culture, and technology, and the systems that shape contemporary existence. Smoothly rendered with a keen sensitivity to light and shadow, You’s work balances precision with atmosphere. Beneath their polished surfaces, her images often carry a subtle tension, where the seductive and the unsettling coexist, imbuing the familiar with an undercurrent of unease.
