Originally from Poland, lived for years in the USA, Ireland, and Germany. She had several solo exhibitions in Poland and also has been included in various group exhibitions and art fairs in Germany, USA, UK, Italy, and Poland. Her works dealing with intuitive forms, expressive lines, and colors. She is often inspired by texture, material manipulation, and the unconscious mind, with an interest in how art can become a bridge between artist and viewers. Her art reflects endless optimism and abundance of energy. She inters weaves lines, colors and objects with energy, some of it tinged with shades of culture visiting places, but always reflecting the artist character and perceived world view, shaped by her journey and experiences. For Untitled Space, Matyja created a new body of work inspired by unlimited textures of traditional Chinese paper. Fascinated by visual features, it’s structure and weight; Chinese brushes that give the painting the rhythm with the use of traditional ink used to create variety, balance, and empty space. She explored the relationship between traditional materials and their influence on artistic forms and techniques, which gave her freedom in term of artistic conception, structural composition and method of expression.
Ja Min Yie was born in Seoul, Korea. She received her BFA in Illustration from the Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA in Painting from the Marchutz School of Fine Arts. She recently attended the MASS MoCA Residency program and the Hemera Foundation Tending Space Fellowship. Ja Min Yie approaches painting as a phenomenological operation. She renders what is perceived as it emerges in the immediate present. The aim is to discard habitual assumptions that obscure perception, and instead see things nakedly, as they are. Her works sit between form and formlessness, where appearance arises simultaneously with its dissolution. Furthermore, in her works, a sheen of light emanates from the surface of passing forms, intimating the nature of their structure and substance. Yie is particularly interested in achieving this resonance between light, surface, and construction, and in the upcoming weeks, she will be studying still lives, hoping to extract a similar diaphanous presentness.
Ja Min Yie出生于韩国首尔。她在罗得岛设计学院获得了插画学学士学位,在马其兹美术学院获得了绘画艺术硕士学位。她最近参加了MASS MoCA驻地计划,以及获得了Hemera基金会的“趋向太空”奖学金。Ja Min Yie将绘画视为一种现象学方法论。她呈现出此时此刻的快速感知。目的是抛弃使感知变得模糊的习惯性假设,而是赤裸裸地看待事物其本质。她的作品介于有形与无形之间,在这种形式的出现与消散同时出现。此外,在她的作品中,一缕阳光从经过的形式的表面散发出来,激发了它们结构和物质的本质。Yie对实现光线,表面和结构之间的这种共鸣产生兴趣,在接下来的几周的驻地中,她将研究静物写生,希望能够提取出类似透明的现实感。

To which, the most notably evident, the instrumentality of physical space at the expense of children. As an extension to his research that began in 2017, of Adventure Playgrounds and Learning development of children and young adults of various cities with regards to independent mobility schemes around various urban environments, Yoon explores the idea of play in relation to the familiarity of materials.
