Gyomyung Shin

b.1992, South Korea

Biography

Gyomyung Shin (b. 1992) explores how technology shapes the relationship between humans, nature, and the living organisms within them. Revealing the shifting hierarchies between humans and nature, he examines how these technological influences affect the interactions between the two entities. In contemplating these diverse objects-their environments, the fluctuating hierarchies and interrelationships-and in navigating toward the future, Shin utilizes modern technologies such as robotics and polymers alongside traditional materials like petroglyphs and kanji through diverse and integrated methods.

Shin majored in kinetic sculpture and mechanical engineering at Seoul National University and completed his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at the same institution. His major solo exhibitions include KT&G SS Madang (2025), Hangaram Design Museum at the Seoul Arts Center (2022) and ROY Gallery (2023, 2024) He has further participated in numerous group exhibitions, notably at the Hangaram Design Museum at the Seoul Art Center (2025), Osan Museum of Art (2025), Suwon Museum of Art (2024), and the Busan Museum of Contemporary Art (2023). He was selected as one of seven “Outstanding Artists of 2024” as part of a grant for Artist Management Program-a Korean Arts Management Service initiated by the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism. He currently partakes in Unfold X, a Group exhibition at Culture Station Seoul 284 directed by Kimchi & Chips.

Since 2023, Shin has been represented by ROY Gallery and is a resident artist at the Youngeun Museum of Art. He continues to gain recognition from reputable institutions, with his recent selection for the Nanji Creative Studio in 2026. He also serve as a lecturer at Seoul National University, a lecturer at the Korea National University of Arts, and a visiting professor at Hong University whilst concurrently pursuing research activities.
