Suprainfinit presents Heysu Jeong at Art Brussels 2024
We are delighted to participate in this year's Art Brussels with a solo presentation by Hyesu Jeong as part of the Discovery Section, sharing the booth with gallery friend Longtermhandstand.
Hyesu Jeong's paintings allure the viewer in mysterious and surreal atmospheres, emphasising exaggerated details of ears and noses aiming to highlight these primordial body parts that both humans and animals have,defining their individualities. The large-scale formats of the paintings forge intricate compositions of spaces and objects, as well as allowing suspense and curiosity on the surface of the canvas.
Hyesu Jeong (b.1995 South Korea) is currently based in Düsseldorf and due to graduate in summer 2024 from the Painting department of the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf.
Parallel to surreal depictions of body parts, the artist translates a similar mood in misty, undefined landscapes, all painted in oil on canvas. The juxtaposition of landscape reliefs and strongly coloured plants and water, an important symbol for emotional reflections, with characters or traces of human presences, enrich the works with both familiar and unfamiliar perceptions.
Solo and group exhibitions include: upcoming solo exhibition at Suprainfinit Gallery, Bucharest (2024); Container, Akademy Gallery, Düsseldorf, DE (2023); Closer Than They Appear, CTTA, Berlin Kurfürstendam, DE (2022); Secret Sundays, Bruch & Dallas, Köln, DE (2019).
