Jaeyeon Yoo was born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1988. After graduating from Ewha Womans University with her bachelor's degree in Western Painting and her master’s degree in Painting from the Royal College of Art, she creates works whilst traveling between Seoul and London. Based on contemplations about nighttime, Yoo composes a landscape where daily life and fantasy coexist, and draws from little and large events in daily life and an individual's reflections and imagination inspired by those events, to create pieces focusing on the time and place of ‘night.’ She has expressed the  ambiguous and equivocal aspects of the world by depicting fond experiences and memories of childhood,  that include an uncomforting scene or an unidentified subject. This is to draw on the ‘gap’ between dual worlds that build upon personal memory, fantasy and subtle emotions, such as that between a society and an individual, the past and the present, the inside and the outside, existence and recognition. She has expressed the dual state of seclusion and freedom through the <Night Walker> series which depicts a person walking alone late at night, and reveals the 'blue night' by contrasting the light–the moon, a meteor shower, a cell phone screen and more–with the darkness of the night.
