Hyunsun Jeon Into the Woods to Lose Our Way, 2025

Thirty paintings bearing Hyunsun Jeon's distinct iconography, combining figurative elements, such as trees, fruits, and objects from everyday life, with abstract forms, color planes and sets of classic geometric shapes, have become one giant structure, a semicircular shape similar to a halfpipe skateboard ramp. Jeon’s project has an all-encompassing, even world-building quality: quoting different styles as motifs, a work might simultaneously include painterly passages, pointillist sections or simulated brushstrokes, and motifs that have the linear quality of digital renderings or pixelation.
