Hyunju Oh (b. 1999) is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture and installation. Her practice begins with an inquiry into which bodies become visible and which bodies disappear within contemporary urban systems shaped by data, logistics, and architectural control. In environments where bodies are continually classified, monitored, and rendered readable, her work examines uneven regimes of visibility, in which some bodies are made hyper-visible while others are systematically obscured.

A central concern in her practice is the notion of opacity—not as a lack of information, but as a condition that resists full legibility. Through material and spatial strategies, her work considers how opacity is negotiated, denied, or momentarily reclaimed within built environments. She explores how infrastructures and architectural forms regulate movement, access, and behaviour, often imagining bodies as potential risks or intrusions.

Her work engages with both urban and domestic spaces, focusing on elements such as defensive architectural structures, windows, thresholds, and surfaces that mediate between public and private realms. By softening, abstracting, or re-materialising these structures, she reveals how mechanisms of protection and comfort can simultaneously produce exclusion, fear, and control.
