SUEJIN CHUNG Korean, b. 1969

Chung Suejin’s painting can be easily misunderstood as an expression of allegory; it is an outcome of research and studies that she has invested to create her visual language. A collective of techniques, compositions, forms, and colors build up a scene that involves icons that are portrayed in detail, eccentric composition and languages that do not exist in the world. Chung Suejin does not imply or deliver a message of symbolism through her works. Those unrealistic features that fill her canvas do not stand for any specific terms; yet, they allure and suggest the viewers consider these visuals abstract art forms. Her intention is to share a visual language that does not evoke any sentiment.

Chung Suejin has held solo exhibitions domestically and internationally. She is now based at New York and Seoul. Her works are included in the collections of Korea Art & Cultural Education Service, Seoul, Korea; Doosan Yonkang Foundation Doosan Art Center, Seoul, Korea; Seonhwa Art and Culture Foundation, Seoul, Korea; and National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, Korea.
