Yeonyeon Jung
Korean painter Yeonyeon Jung explores the emotions, psychology, and social meanings that lie beyond the imagery of female figures and the universe.
She separates her practice into two distinct genres — figurative and abstract. In her figurative works, the ornate beauty reminiscent of Art Nouveau reveals the anxieties, wounds, and social contradictions hidden beneath the surface.
Her abstract works, on the other hand, focus on the temporality of humanity and the cosmos, expanding the boundaries of painting through material and technical experimentation with metal corrosion, iron, bronze, and other mediums.
