JEONG Juwon

JEONG Juwon (b.1992)'s way of perceiving a subject is coincidental and intuitive. Green Hill (2022) is a painting of memories of a green hill seen on a daily path. Rather than delving into the attributes of the actual subject, it is a painting that traces various moments and sensations accumulated in her own consciousness. The artist's subjective reinterpretation and intuitive selection actively intervene in the work process. The screen painted with Korean traditional painting pigments mixed with white kaolin clay leads the vague images in memory to settle in the tactile time and space of the present.

JEONG Juwon was born in Seoul in 1992. She received her BFA in Oriental Painting at Hongik University in 2016, and MFA at School of Visual Arts, Korea National University of Arts in 2018.
