Monochrome Painter Jaewon Jung to Hold Solo Exhibition

Jae Won Jung, a monochrome abstract painter known for expressing the philosophy of space-time, creation, and dissolution, will hold her solo exhibition 〈THE WAY THINGS GO〉 from September 22 to 24 at NY COSMOS Gallery (formerly New York K&P Gallery), located in the heart of Chelsea, Manhattan.   In this solo exhibition 〈THE WAY THINGS GO〉, Jung explores the process of creation and dissolution within space-time through collections and sequences that embody order and balance. By delving into the relational dynamics of space and time, her unique attempt to express the interaction between unexpected and unchanging elements of lines results in the ultimate vision of a monochrome painter. Her works, marked by the crossing of black lines, reveal the principles of irregularity derived from simple elements.   A representative from the gallery commented, "The gallery, located in the heart of Chelsea, Manhattan, is internationally known for contemporary art collections and exhibitions. Jung's works have already garnered significant interest and attention from collectors in New York and both domestic and international art markets. In the selection process for this solo exhibition, among many outstanding artists from countries such as the U.S., Japan, Korea, Germany, China, Italy, France, Colombia, and Turkey, Jae Won Jung's highly refined and emotionally compelling monochrome abstract works left a strong impression, which led to her finally being selected through fierce competition and invitation as a solo exhibitor.   Each piece in this exhibition compresses essence through lines reminiscent of Jung's signature Oriental mark making. The works are characterized by dynamic forms, moving lines, and an interplay of unstable balance, with restrained thicknesses of black lines and geometric cross-compositions. They feature irregular transformations in form, all reflecting the artist's philosophy of the limitless possibilities of lines. Jung remarked, "A line is not merely a drawn element, but a system of creation and dissolution," offering a glimpse into her philosophical perspective on the infinite transformation of lines in each artwork.   Jae Won Jung explores the aesthetic possibilities of painting, photography, and film, combining poetic imagery with philosophical and introspective storytelling. She uses various media, such as painting, installation art, photography, and film, to express her thoughts and emotions in unique ways. After graduating from Yonsei University in Seoul with a degree in Bachelor in Laws, Jung earned her Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York. She has actively showcased her monochrome paintings internationally, participating in solo and group exhibitions, as well as art fairs, at numerous galleries and museums in New York and Korea.      박원중 기자 ([email protected])monochrome exhibition monochrome painter this solo monochrome abstract
