Justin Yoon — Company 2 (Marge)
Justin Yoon

Company 2 (Marge)

2025

Company 2 (Marge) presents a quietly arresting image rendered in color pencil on paper, a medium Justin Yoon has made distinctly his own through a commitment to labor-intensive mark-making that rewards close attention. The work belongs to a body of practice concerned with companionship, presence, and the psychological weight of the everyday, with the figure of Marge serving as both a specific subject and a broader meditation on intimacy at close range. Yoon's handling of color pencil achieves a luminous, almost photographic density while retaining the warmth and tactility of the drawn line, resulting in surfaces that feel simultaneously immediate and carefully considered. At 55.9 by 71.1 centimeters and framed with anti-reflective glass, the work is scaled for sustained, personal engagement rather than declarative display. Yoon, who has drawn significant critical attention for his meticulous figurative practice, situates his subjects within a tradition of portraiture that prizes psychological honesty over idealization. The title's indexical quality, naming both a series position and a person, reinforces a sense of ongoing relationship between artist and subject, suggesting a practice rooted in observation over time rather than a single decisive encounter. The work is signed and presented in a considered frame that allows the drawing's surface to remain visually uncompromised. Available through Jonathan Carver Moore, Company 2 (Marge) represents a strong entry point into Yoon's evolving body of work at a moment of growing institutional and collector interest.
