Juri Rhyu (b. 1991, South Korea) is an artist and educator whose work delves into the emotional complexities of the human experience. Through her non-medium-specific art, she seeks to capture the nuances of universal emotions and offer comfort to those who view her work.
Juri's art is a reflection of her feelings, thoughts, and dreams and is particularly focused on exploring the feeling of sadness that is inherent to the human experience. As she puts it, "Every human is a little bit sad all the time because you know nothing can stay the same. But by acknowledging it, we can embrace life's inevitable changes." Through her art, Juri seeks to capture the complexity of this emotion and give it shape and form while also offering a sense of comfort and consolation.
