Pohang, South Korea, b. 1991
Jonghwan Jin is currently living and working in Seoul, South Korea, where his work is based on painting. He continues to think about the possibilities of expression within the category of painting. He develops abstractions of the invisible but slowly changing landscapes, such as the temperature, humidity, and wind direction felt when welcoming a new season. By implicitly expressing the forms of sensation that exist beyond the visible visual image, he is searching for his painting style.

Concrete Rhythm
The exhibition <Concrete Rhythm> at Pipe Gallery offers a glimpse into the abstract languages of three artists composed of concrete sensations. Jonghwan Jin (b.1991) visually portrays his inner experiences and pure sensations he has encountered. He conveys the specific experiences of air and tactile sensations he felt in his body, as well as the vitality and vibrations of the external world in a non-representational manner. However, at times, he does not completely exclude the forms of visible landscapes from his visual language, giving him autonomy that surpasses the limits of simple abstraction. However, sometimes the form of visible scenery is not completely excluded from his formative language, so he has autonomy that crosses the limits of simple abstraction.
