Jun Yang was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea, and has made San Francisco his home for the past 13 years. The City inspires Jun and his art with its cultural diversity, celebrated urban landscape, natural beauty, as well as the socially inclusive culture which provides support and protection for queer artists. Jun is a self taught artist who uses a broad range of techniques and media. He creates pieces in a variety of sizes and locations, from large scale canvases to full scale murals. Jun has shown his work in numerous national and international exhibitions in San Francisco, as well as KunsthausGraz, Graz Austria, MOCA Taipei in Taiwan, De Young museum and galleries in Seoul, Korea. Jun’s art speaks to viewers across cultures and continents in a unique way, his work speaks to people without the common language. Each piece is incomplete until the viewers contribute their own contexts to the artistic conversation.
