Jung-Yeon Min
Jung-yeon Min displays her vision of a phantasmagoric and organic world. Her landscapes, which hold titles like “Jalousie” (jealousy), show images of cancer cells, the interior of the human body, its intimacy, reminding the viewer of the famous mutation-scene of the animated film Akira. The landscapes appear realistic in a large format and completely phantasmagorical. They look graphic, although they are hand-drawn. They show abundance as well as gaps. The artist’s imagination creates scientific space, which connects the virtual with reality; she exposes, what possibilities the peak of imagination can lead to.
Min jungyeon was born with a natural aptitude of depicting her eccentric imagination inviting the onlooker to experience her surreal and intimate vision. Her beautifully created organic forms flow and inhabit the imaginative space often together with her own figure or animals. Conveyed within the work is her interpretation of the relationship between fantasy and reality. Her drawings accommodate imageries of turburance and tranquillity, eccentricity and autenticity, combined and successfully transferred on to paper in a calm and believable way.
