Seoul, b. 1972

Jaeun Jeon explores the meaning of “place” that exists beyond the visible, drawing from personal memory and sensory experience. Her work gently accumulates layers of time and landscape that are difficult to capture through language, revealing them through painting and mixed media. Textile and sewing elements, in particular, function not merely as materials but as a means of connecting past and present, adding a warm and organic dimension to her practice. Rooted in autobiographical memory, her works incorporate spatial structures such as stairs and yards, linking personal experience with universal emotions. Through this approach, Jeon softly invites viewers to reconsider familiar places in everyday life from a renewed and contemplative perspective.
