Grant Yun skillfully reveals the inherent beauty in the mundane aspects of life. Drawing inspiration from personal experiences, he immortalizes the everyday scenes – the journey home from work, gazing out of a window, or a simple visit to the shops. Each of Yun's creations is firmly grounded in reality, and his artistic process is marked by meticulous attention to detail.

Beginning with photographs, Yun translates his observations into a mental sketch before returning to his computer to refine the image. A key aspect of his work involves the addition of a grain texture, introducing an extra layer of intricacy. Yun's adept use of color, notably soft and comforting, is a time-intensive component of his process. In fact, the decision-making around color choices often surpasses the actual time spent on the drawing itself. Embracing a limited palette, he masterfully accomplishes "a lot with a little," compelling viewers to engage their imagination in filling in the gaps.

Despite employing contemporary and digital tools, Yun's artworks frequently delve into the past. He explains, "My style comes from a different era." In homage to the 1920s Precisionism movement, native to the United States and characterized by reducing subjects to geometric shapes, Yun navigates the boundaries of negative space and minimalism. To encapsulate his distinctive approach, Yun has coined the term 'Neo-Precisionism.' This style represents Yun's innovative reinterpretation of 20th-century art movements, delivering minimal yet powerful imagery that resonates with the essence of the past.
