Introducing Yujin Jung (b. 2000)
@_yuijn
Yujin Jung is a painter who questions contemporary visual culture.
From an early age, she was exposed to advertising production environments, developing an interest in the constructed nature of images and the gap between what is visible and what remains concealed.
She graduated from Chelsea College of Arts, where her practice was further shaped through theoretical engagement. Inspired by a philosopher who described contemporary society as a form of digital panoptic visual communication, she introduced recurring circular structures that reflect systems of observation and the tension between visibility and invisibility.
Drawing on aerial and satellite perspectives, her practice translates views inaccessible to the human eye into painting. Her works construct images that are simultaneously near and distant, visible yet elusive. “For me, painting materialises the contradictions embedded within systems of seeing in the image-saturated era. I want to ask how we see, and how much of what we see is actually constructed for us.”
