Biography JEONG, Yun Kyung Born in 1981, Incheon, South Korea Jeong Yun Kyung graduated from the College of Art Design at Ewha Womans University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 2006, and the Slade School of Fine Art with a Master of Fine Arts in 2008. Jeong finds a delicate balance between Eastern and Western artistic traditions by fusing East Asian ink with abstract expressionism from the West. Jeong plays with perspective and exploit empty space on the canvas to create complex visual language. Often without a pre-planned concept in mind, her works are a response to her immediate surroundings and happenings, which embody her own intimate emotions and experiences. Jeong’s solo exhibition at Gallery EXIT in Hong Kong including ‘Stone Planet’ (2023), and ‘Dash and Symphony’ (2020). Other selected solos include ‘Killing the Night’ (Triumph Gallery, Moscow, 2022), ‘Finger Spell’ (Graphite on Pink, Seoul, Korea, 2021), ‘Intimate Immensity’ (Triumph Gallery, Moscow, 2018), ‘Structural Sensibility’ (Art’Loft, Brussels, 2016), and ‘In-Sync’ (Gallery Koo, Seoul, 2015).
