EXHIBI­TIONS

YEYE

Korean artist yeye graduated from the animation course in the manga department of Kyoto Seika University and earned a master’s degree in manga from the same university. Based in Seoul and active across Asia, she is known for her body of work on her dog Moongé, a Maltese, whom she has depicted in drawings, paintings, croquis, and other mediums as well as books. Since Moongé’s death in early 2024 at the age of 15 yeye has recommitted herself to capturing the essence of her muse and companion, seeing herself reflected in the dog’s existence. This exhibition is the artist’s first at Kaikai Kiki Gallery.
