YunJung Chun  / 전윤정

YunJung Chun is a contemporary artist who reinterprets space by blurring the boundaries between two-dimensional planes and three-dimensional forms, utilizing 'Line' as her primary visual language. She holds a B.F.A. in Western Painting and an M.F.A. in Formative Arts from Seoul Women's University.

Transcending the limited frame of the canvas, Chun presents 'Spatial Drawing' works that expand into the entire physical space, encompassing exhibition walls, floors, and corners. Her lines, created primarily with ink or black masking tape, seem to proliferate across surfaces. These lines draw viewers into the artwork, offering an immersive, three-dimensional experience distinct from traditional flat painting.

At the core of her practice lie the anxiety, alienation, and obsessive psychology experienced by modern individuals. The act of drawing lines, requiring tens of thousands of repetitive gestures, is more than simple labor; it is a meditative process through which the artist confronts and heals her inner anxiety. The intertwined black lines serve as a complex inner landscape and a medium that projects the imperfect self.

Chun has been selected for prestigious residencies in Korea, including the Kumho Art Studio (4th), Gyeonggi Creation Center, and Incheon Art Platform (3rd). She has established a unique artistic world through solo exhibitions such as Next Cold and Different Emotions, as well as numerous group exhibitions at major institutions like the Soma Museum of Art, Kumho Museum of Art, and Ungnno Museum.

Artist Statement

YunJung Chun visualizes psychological landscapes of anxiety and compulsion through the medium of 'Line'. Escaping the rectangular canvas, her work expands into 'installation drawings' that flow across walls and floors. The accumulation of repetitive, intricate lines—created with black masking tape and ink—represents the complex inner world of modern individuals, while simultaneously serving as a record of the artist's healing and meditation. Occupying and extending through space, her lines invite viewers to experience an unfamiliar spatial perception, conveying both visual tension and release.
