From Nature: Six Korean artists’ environment-inspired painting, sculpture, print and installation art
What is the value of Nature? Or rather, what values does Nature exhibit? The Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C. proudly presents From Nature, a new exhibition featuring six Korean artists who explore what it means to espouse the values found in nature—form, flow, utilization of resources—In their art and life. Bukang Kim, Hyang Yeon Lee, Hyun Jeung, Jung Woo Cho, Soo il Choi, and Yurim Seong utilize a variety of expressive artistic media including painting, sculpture, print and installation art to reflect the contrasting harmony of realism and abstraction found at different levels of nature. Each artist’s work varies in material and technique as they draw connections between their unique personal style of expression and fundamental principles of the natural world. Admission to the opening reception with talks by the artists on Friday, August 4 at 6:00 p.m. is free and open to the public, but registration is required at www.KoreaCultureDC.org. From Nature will remain on view through August 31, 2017. From Nature WHAT: Art exhibition, artist talks, & public opening reception WHO: Bukang Kim, Hyang Yeon Lee, Hyun Jeung, Jung Woo Cho, Soo il Choi, Yurim Seong WHEN: Opening Reception: Friday, August 4 at 6:00 pm On View: August 4–31, 2017 (open M-F, 9am-noon & 1:30-5:30pm) WHERE: Korean Cultural Center Washington, D.C.

Extrait adapté d’un dialogue entre une amie et moi.
Elle me demande à propos de mon exposition précédente à Londres: - Quelle est la fleur sur le carton d’invitation? - Ce sont des géraniums sauvages. Avec toute la folie de ce monde... les idées absurdes, la sauvagerie... je réalise que j'ai envie de montrer des petites choses belles, tout ce que l'on néglige car cela se trouve juste à coté, et partout. On ne se rend pas compte de cette beauté et de cette force. Pendant longtemps, j’ai craint de montrer mes travaux, me demandant quel sens je pouvais leur donner... Je commence maintenant à être un peu plus en paix avec ce que je fais... |
- J’aime beaucoup ce que tu dis sur ton travail et l’importance des petites choses, des petits bonheurs. J’espère que tu vas continuer à créer de la beauté car, comme disait Le Petit Prince “C’est véritablement utile puisque c’est joli”. Je voulais la remercier. Elle m’aide à continuer mon voyage… J’essaie de voir au-delà de l’apparence nue… Je me mets à rêver, imaginer et suggérer toutes les possibilités et visages cachés au-delà des facettes anonymes de la beauté… |
For her 4th exhibition at Mokspace, Hyun Jeung's multi-layered approach to printmaking reveals the overlooked beauty of our ordinary surroundings. Playing with colours, light and transparency, anonymous clovers , geraniums, and poppies take the viewer to a journey both familiar and unexpected.

15 October - 7 November 2015
Opening : Thursday 15 October 2.00 - 9.00 pm Mairie du 8e arrondissement de Paris A l’occasion de l’Année de la Corée en France, le musée Cernuschi organise deux expositions consacrées aux artistes coréens contemporains ayant travaillé ou travaillant toujours en France. Vous pouvez me retrouver avec d'autres artistes dans l'exposition 'Figurations Coréennes', à la mairie du 8e arrondissement. Les choix de techniques, traditionnelles ou occidentales, les styles et les expérimentations témoignent du rapport complexe de chaque artiste à la figuration. Les artistes révèlent aussi leurs différentes sensibilités et leur relation contrastée à leur culture d'origine. http://www.cernuschi.paris.fr/fr/expositions/seoul-paris-seoul-1 |

Jardins Croisés 18th April - 7th May 2014 Opening night: Thursday 17th April 6.00 - 8.00 pm MOKSPACE is delighted to host 'Jardins Croisés,’ a solo exhibition by Korean artist Hyun Jeung. Korean printmaker and ceramist Hyun Jeung returns to MOKSPACE this spring for her second solo exhibition, Jardins croisés (Interwoven gardens). Jeung's most recent prints trace her journey from her home country, South Korea, to her current home, Tunisia, as tender, nostalgic images of East Asian gingkos spring up alongside delicate impressions of North African poppies. Jeung's PhD thesis, which she completed at the Université de Paris I, explored the enigmatic, productive space that opens up in the printmaking process between the engraved, painted wooden matrix and a sheet of paper awaiting impression. By printing onto each sheet of paper multiple times with each matrix, she produces unpredictably coloured and textured composite impressions, and thus repetition is the key to novelty. This spring at MOKSPACE, Jeung's wooden matrices are displayed alongside her prints as individual works of art, providing a window onto her printmaking journey and inviting spectators to tease apart the layers of her gingko and poppy prints. Both technically and thematically, then, Jardins croisés explores the interaction between organic fibres and forms (wood and paper; gingkos and poppies) – a celebration of nature's bounty, which accompanies the arrival of spring in London.

"For this exhibition, Hyun proposes a combination of works reflecting on old and recent times and places in her life. You will discover plump kaki fruits emerging from her youth in Korea, apple blossoms which flower in the Jardin des Plantes in Paris where she likes to stroll, and the delicate arabesques of fragrant jasmine vines growing in her house in Tunisia.
Hyun gives life to these feelings and perceptions many years after having first experienced them, often when she is already far away in another country. It may be her way to let her memory ponder, rendering the elusive lights and colors than can only be seen with eyes shut. It may also be a way to allow time to settle like dust, thus slowly revealing the multiple and ever changing beauty of things." |

Underneath the Gam tree
MOKSPACE
30 June - 16 July 2012
Opening reception on Friday 29 June, 5-8pm
Mokspace is delighted to present Hyun Jeung’s first exhibition in London. She is a Korean printmaker and ceramist. Hyun will show her latest woodcuts, created in Paris and Tunis where she lives and works.
“Like many Koreans, we used to have a large Gam tree – or Kaki tree - in our backyard. In the summer, its generous leafage would bring freshness to the house, playing with the wind to paint symphonies of shade and light on the grass. And in the winter, the plump gam fruits would scatter orange dots against the snowy sky.”
For Hyun, printmaking is an art of process rather than a duplication technique. Paradoxically, it can reveal the changing nature of things through repetition. For example, each time the matrix meets the paper, time and space open for imperfectly dried layers of ink to mix, for the image to interact and play with the veins of the wood.
Hyun's art hinges on keeping open times and spaces alive to allow the unknown to join with the known. She gives way to a force that can express itself only when the artist steps back: the Void. As a result, though each of Hyun’s prints are born from same matrix, lines, and gestures, each of them breathes with its own undulating colours, textures and moods. Just like the quiet mingling of shade and light underneath the Gam tree.
