Hyun Jung Ji, born in South Korea, now currently lives and works in Seoul, Korea. She gained formal training as a painter at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA where she began to develop her unique illustrative style and meticulous approach to painting.
Hyun’s works are inspired by her memories. Her painting plays a role as a medium to connect herself of the past with herself of the present. Hyun's process allows her to dive deep into her consciousness and by facing these memories, she feels like having a closer understanding of who she is.
She produces engaging narratives populated by multiple figures of herself. Her works evoke a sense of fantasy and the subconscious.
Hyun Jung has held five solo exhibitions including gallery dos, jeondong 1928, and mansion nine in Korea. She also featured at MvVO’s AD Art show from 2018 to 2022 at Sotheby’s NYC and World Trade Center. She exhibited in various shows internationally including gallery joyana in France, Art Share-LA in Los Angeles, and more.
