Min Woo Nam

Min Woo Nam (b. 1994, South Korea) is a Korean artist based in London. He holds an MA in Painting from the Royal College of Art and a degree from the London School of Economics. His formative experience serving with the United Nations peacekeeping force in South Sudan deeply informs his ongoing enquiry into consciousness, perception, and the shifting boundaries of existence. Through abstraction, nuanced colour, and contemplative brushwork, Nam creates immersive paintings that invite viewers into meditative encounters with the self and the unknown.
