Seoul, South Korea, b. 1990
Jina Jung creates paintings and new media art that alter the invisible properties of changing water, wind and other elements in nature. She completed master's degree in the Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) MPS at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. The artist takes photos of nature or collects such images from the web and stores of VR and 3D space software, then renders them into unrealistic sceneries in VR or video works. She then reassembles the flattened objects, or the visible and penetrable scenes seen in the virtual space on a canvas as a painting. Through the process of transforming and capturing a space that actually exists into an unfamiliar image, she provides an opportunity to consider the logic of subverted nature.

Forms in Sequence
How Much Like a Mountain Do I Have to Draw for You to See It as a Mountain?Curator Yoo Chae-rin Jung Jina’s work asks a fundamental question about how we perceive landscape in the digital age. Having studied both Oriental painting and digital telecommunications, the artist explores the invisible energies and rhythms that give a form its shape. This exhibition presents three distinct bodies of work—<Landscape Elements>, <Fragments of Scenes>, and <A Series of Forms>—that explore landscape through different media. From vibrant colors and monochrome graphite to three-dimensional ceramic sculptures, the artist moves between different forms to deconstruct and reassemble the visual and cognitive structures of nature. Through this process, she invites viewers to engage with her work not as a fixed image, but as a space for personal discovery. Her art is completed by the viewer’s gaze, leaving room for a new landscape to emerge in every fleeting moment.
