Shinoh Nam (Seoul, 1993) is a South Korean artist, living and working in Düsseldorf and Berlin.

Drawing on the thesis that human minds are influenced and changed when exposed to new experiences and situations. Nam uses installation and sculpture to introduce the observer to new surroundings. The installations combine the new with the familiar, integrating recognizable elements: Artificial space object, Laboratory and everyday life, and shift our current reality into novel concepts. Despite the use of brutalistic raw materials, Shinoh Nam’s largescale installations strike through a sense of finesse which is only achieved as a result of his precise execution. His combine of philosophical moments such as ‘Encounter’, ‘Repetition’, ‘Interval’ and consecutive lines are taken from the inspiration which he finds in architecture , starting from ‘EYE’ and ‘GAZE’. The omitting of color supports the focus on the psychological content of his works, minimizing the potential distraction color may bring to the beholder.
