Interior Scene in Yellow

Grounded in her observations of motherhood, Kayoon Anderson’s perspective is imbued with a tenderness that reflects both the partiality of a prospective mother and the inherited wisdom of those who came before her. The figures in her paintings are not isolated; they exist harmoniously within their surroundings, blending seamlessly into the architecture of their environments. This balanced relationship between figure and space creates a contemplative stillness, where people and places are woven together. 

Kayoon Anderson’s compositions, inspired by family photographs and filtered through memory, merge reality with imagination. She draws influence from European medieval art and traditional Korean still life (Mungbando Art), crafting multi-perspective compositions that are both playful and precise. Her subtle color palette enhances the warmth and nostalgia of each scene, capturing a sense of both place and presence.
