Biography
Born in Daejeon, South Korea, Singaporean artist Yom Bo Sung (b. 1996) taps into his own transnational experiences to explore the idiosyncratic nature of social, political and cultural identities. Reappropriating cultural symbols and imageries for his miniature sculptures, large-scale installations and free-standing sculptures, his wryly humorous practice picks up on the subtleties underlying the wide range of religions, languages and customs in the world. At its heart, Yom’s works express the innately human and psychological condition of existing within and outside of borders, physical or otherwise. He received his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the Slade School of Fine Art in London, UK in 2020. He was awarded the Harper’s BAZAAR Art Prize Singapore in 2016, for his work ‘Gunny Stack’. He was also the youngest artist to be selected for the two iterations of the 4482 [SASAPARI] exhibition in London (2018, 2019). He continues to exhibit both locally and internationally.
