DABIN MOON

Exhibition Dates : 12 - 24 August 2025
Opening Reception : Wed 13 August 2025, 6:00 - 8:30 pm

This exhibition presents three paintings—Intersection, Photo Studio, and Levels—that reflect my interest in how urban spaces are emotionally charged and fragmented through digital perception. Rather than depicting real places, I reconstruct imagined environments shaped by signage, lighting, and architectural rhythm. In Intersection, fleeting stillness and movement converge. Photo Studio evokes nostalgia tinted by artificiality. Levels explores spatial layering and psychological depth. Using oil paint, I build textures that mirror the tension between connection and distance in everyday life. These works suggest urban experience not as a static image, but as a shifting emotional state, filtered through memory and light.

Dabin Moon is a Korean-born painter based in Melbourne. Her practice focuses on emotionally charged cityscapes shaped by digital culture, artificial lighting, and mediated memory. Working primarily in oil on canvas, she constructs imagined urban environments that feel both familiar and distant. Through bold color, layered composition, and architectural fragments, Moon explores the psychological dimensions of everyday spaces. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from RMIT University and has a background in visual arts education in both Sydney and Melbourne.
