Becky Moon (b. 2002, Seoul, South Korea) is an artist based in Cambridge, MA. She paints the structure of the invisible human mind through the arrangement of fictional objects. In this limitless world built from thousands of meticulous brushstrokes, each thought transforms into a branch, rock, or snail shell.

Becky Moon came from a half-North Korean and half-South Korean heritage. Growing up, she heard lively accounts from her grandparents about leaving everything North behind to escape war and violence. Their emigration made her question what remains, when everything physical perishes. She realized that the immaterial mind, preserved through love and blood, cannot be taken away. Consequently, she became immersed in depicting the existence of minds.

She studied art and philosophy at Sam Fox School of Visual Art, Washington University in St. Louis and attended Yale Norfolk School of Art. Her most recent solo exhibition was at Harvard University, with the support of the Mahindra Humanities Center. She is currently an educator at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Museum (MIT). Her upcoming solo exhibition “Sticks and Stones” at Bruno David Gallery opens April 4, 2025.
