Justin Yoon (b. 1991) is a Brooklyn based painter who was born in Los Angeles and grew up both in LA and Bundang, South Korea. Early childhood memories of American junk food, late night old Hollywood movies on the TV, and listening to jazz in the car with his family on long drives culminated in the creation of the dreamy, romantic yet melancholy fictional world where all of his characters reside with pronounced ennui. The group of characters reoccur over and over in a deeply synthetic yet ambiguous dream-like landscape, continuing on this never ending "Highschool Reunion". This ongoing narrative of works is populated with hyper masculine and feminine identities that play with the overt sense of self, that represents something closer to an Queer Asian Idolatry- something that was lost in the culture of Americana and beyond in history. The characters, who almost act as the heroes of an imagined epic gay graphic novel or an old sitcom that people look back on fondly as if they grew up watching this show as a comfort watch, emulates a sense of universal belonging to the audience, activating a subtle yet melancholy sensitivity within the viewers. Media such as TV shows, FIlms, Books leave a stronger mark on all of us, especially when coming of age, and these characters are in a way a reflection of these senses that we all had, with an added in-your-face queer Asian glamour that introduces irrelevance of queerness and Asian identity into the universe.
