Jeong Daun

b. 1987, South Korea

Fabric is the most important and frequently used media in Jeong’s work. He is interested in visual aspects that come from the act of seeing. The fabric has been chosen as the medium not to make a narrative or conceptualize personal life but to express his artist’s interest. Fabric drawing is literally a painting that is drawn with fabric. Visual effects are minimized and a pure expression of a fabric constitutes the artwork.

In his recent work, he is using the materiality of fabric, he adds another meaning to painting and diversifies expressions. It is his ceaseless artistic challenge to suggest new possibilities of interpreting painterly space by means of expanding the materials for painting expressions. Through his artistic experiments in regards to art, he hopes that viewers can reconsider their thoughts on material, a fabric while having both visual and tactile experiences.

In other words, he makes paintings by using texture, color, and patterns of fabric, seeking new possibilities of visual effects in the painting genre.
