Jeong Jiyoon

About

Jeong Jiyoon’s work explores immersion and emotional states through a sculptural expression, encouraging reflection on the states of focus and immersion experienced by modern individuals. Her work visually investigates the sensory experiences of concentration and focus, using color and form as mediums to express these concepts.


When we “look at something intently,” it involves more than just receiving a visual stimulus; it’s a process in which that stimulus is transmitted to our cognitive system, forming a certain perceptual belief. This process demonstrates that vision is not just passive reception, but an active interaction between the external world and our subjective experience. For instance, when a particular object draws our gaze and we concentrate on it, that object influences our visual perception system, leading to the formation of a perceptual belief.


The figures in her work visually represent this state of immersion, yet the artist maintains a certain distance from the situation and subject matter, positioning herself as an observer. The scattered paint hints that the painting is not a mere representation of reality but exists purely as a painterly surface. This element suggests that the subjects within her works are deliberately set as “strangers” to the artist, blurring the boundary between reality and representation. Consequently, Jeong’s approach makes it difficult to fully immerse oneself in the depicted scene, instead placing greater emphasis on the act of brushstrokes and the enjoyment of form.


The artist primarily uses blue and white, not merely as color choices, but as expressions of specific emotional and mental states. She has mentioned that she perceives color as “a person full of words,” illustrating how color in her work functions as a language of emotion rather than a simple background.


Ultimately, Jeong Jiyoon’s work moves beyond traditional image representation, offering a new sensory experience that combines form and color. The figures in her paintings reflect the complex mental and emotional experiences of contemporary people, presenting viewers with a fresh perspective on perception through her visual interpretation and expression of these experiences.
