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.

"Objecthood" is a concept that emerged from minimalism, often translated as "objecthood" or "materiality." It aims to strip objects of unnecessary elements, focusing on the essence of the object and the inherent properties of the material, to present works that are non-imitative and non-representational.

Based in Busan, Objecthood Gallery seeks to introduce the artistic worlds of emerging domestic and international artists who understand and interpret this pure concept of objecthood. The gallery also serves as a new platform to offer moments of relaxation and leisure in our modern lives.


OBJECTHOOD

Upon that mountain

White mountains, white mountains

on that mountain

Magnolia tree

A beach weathered by countless seasons

When the magnolia trees began to flower

aged courtyard

Deep in the drawer-eternal yard

A drawer of memory

Camellia Island

A crimson sun over a winter forest

The place where magnolias bloom

Nightyard
