Hyunsun Jeon
Born in 1989 in Seoul, she lives and works in Seoul.
Hyunsun Jeon‘s painting consists of an accumulation of flat strokes painted in watercolour, sometimes suggesting digital art, and geometric shapes, brought together on canvases without volume in a complexity that ends up artificially creating reliefs, landscapes in volume and shapes from which life emerges. Although painted in two dimensions,the cone, a symbol of fertility (in botany) and growth (in mathematics), often recurs as a generative element in the artist’s work on life forms. Geometric forms in her paintings are often echoed in the three-dimensional structures in which she shows her works.
