Hyunsun Jeon

Press release

Hyunsun Jeon has invented a unique pictorial language that employs a Korean chromatic palette predominated by greens, blacks, and blues. Her expansive vocabulary of proportion—some simplified passages for example relate to pixelation in early video games—is suspended between symbolic geometry and suggestive landscape conveying an impending sense of poetic absence and artificial presence. Developing a characteristic approach to the medium, Jeon’s use of watercolor creates a variety of distinct surface textures. The geometric forms in her paintings are often echoed in the three-dimensional structures in which she stages her works.
