Kayoon Anderson

Press release

EDJI Gallery is pleased to announce Echoes of Home, a solo exhibition of new works by British-Korean artist Kayoon Anderson. This will be Anderson’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. 

Opening Preview: December 4th, 2024, at 6 PM

In this exhibition, Anderson expands her exploration of motherhood, memory, and identity, creating a deeply personal visual dialogue that spans generations. Her works express her evolving sense of motherhood and pay homage to her Korean mother and grandmother, embodying a continuum that reaches back through generations and projects forward into the future. This multi-generational perspective offers a layered reflection on familial bonds and cultural heritage, bridging her experiences between Korea and the UK. 

Grounded in her observations of motherhood, Anderson’s perspective reflects both the partiality of a prospective mother and the inherited wisdom of those who came before her. The figures in her paintings exist harmoniously within their surroundings, blending seamlessly into the architecture of their environments. This balanced relationship between figure and space creates a contemplative stillness, where people and places are woven together.
