Heehyun Joeng
In residence: October 2022
Heehyun Jeong (b. 1984) was born and raised in South Korea, studied at the University of Art Braunschweig in Germany, graduating from Olav Christopher Jenssen as a master student.
Jeong’s practice focuses on observations of phenomena that she finds in nature, translating them using different painting and printing techniques. The beginning of her work often stems from an intensive and precise period of observation, followed by her own understanding and interpretation of nature. This combined with Jeong's imaginary view of the surface she creates an invisible bond between nature and man, between life and transience: the work is finished when a consensus has been found between her will and the will of the picture.
