Bio

Dain Yoon is a South Korean artist living and working in New York City. Born and raised in Seoul, Dain’s early talent in painting provided her the opportunity to attend the prestigious Yewon Arts Middle School and Seoul Arts High School. In 2017, she graduated from Korea National University of Arts with a major in Stage Design. A classically-trained fine art painter, Dain became well-known for her illusion painting on her face and body as well as her eclectic work with a variety of media, ranging from canvas painting and sculpture, to photography and performance art. Dain chose to paint on her face because she considers the face the strongest and most sensitive part of the body. Dain has collaborated with artists including Maurizio Cattelan, James Blake, and Halsey; partnered with museums, including the Tate Modern and the Van Gogh Museum; and garnered significant attention in media, appearing on The Ellen Degeneres Show, and in publications such as Vogue, Dazed, TOILETPAPER, and The New York Times Magazine.
