Sangsun Bae was born in South Korea in 1971. She completed her MFA in Fine Arts at Musashino Art University (Tokyo) in 2002, then furthered her career with courses at the Kyoto City University of Arts. In 2003, she participated in an exchange program at the Printmaking Department of the Royal College of Art, London. Her early work focused on monochromatic charcoal drawings, exploring the human body and its relationship with others—expressing the silent language of emotional and physical connection. Over time, her practice expanded to include installations and ceramic works themed around knots and cords emphasizing tactile tension and the physicality of material and space. In recent years, her work has involved research into modern and contemporary history of Japan and Korea, creating image-based works using archival photographs and documentary materials, that visualize layered narratives of memory, identity, and collective experience. Currently based in Kyoto, the artist works between Japan and South Korea.
