The exploration of the thickness of lines, digital printing, and minimalism is the study of “fear,” an illusion that presents itself as reality. The series comprises vertical or horizontal lines, straight lines meticulously drawn manually or digitally. Mostly, working with linear paintings, the visualisation of memory, and personally written records is a striving for perfectionism that may only remain an illusion.
The series, Silence, so-called “linear painting,” illuminates a dark atmosphere, thus creating an illusion. With the utilisation of a mechanical pencil, Yoon draws lines with 0.3mm intervals in between lines and digitalizes the work by applying inkjet. In addition to the layers of thin film sheets he draws linear lines repetitively – the lines that carry emotional thoughts - create a sense of illusion.
