Yun Jang has built a renowned reputation as a painter over the past decade, having exhibited his works at numerous prestigious galleries around the world. He has received several esteemed honors and awards, including in the RayMar Fine Art Competition, International Artist Magazine’s annual art competition, and the Strokes of Genius – Best of Drawing competition. His work has been featured in illustrious magazines including International Artist Magazine, Southwest Art Magazine and The Artist’s Magazine.
