Artist Note

YANGJUN JEONG

Our life is composed of both visible and invisible incidents and experiences that take place in every moment. The invisible experienced moments are made behind the space that surrounds us, rather than being separated from our actuality. These phenomena are either consciously or subconsciously perceived in various aspects of spaces.

From this point of view, experience of space is events of daily routine which emerges from latent reality. Spaces of experience as invisible reality are coexisting with our realistic circumstances.

We are prone to live a life dependent on only visible and superficial states. In fact, superficial daily routines cherish the potential world, driving realities more dynamically than do our realistic lives. Latentreality hidden behind actual reality is a space of experience that perceive as reality. Spaces are human beings’ private and intimate experiences that are to be differentiated from reality or thought as an imaginary realm at a given instant.

I am always mindful of moments of experience in a constantly related world, and this inclination has led to my work with versatile angles. My paintings reflect a variety of experienced spaces: relationships with certain circumstances, spaces and people. Insight toward an invisible world can be a passage to a macroscopic view on reality, rather than a microscopic perception.
