Hyeyeon Chung

Hyeyeon Chung’s artistic practice delves into the intersection of landscape, memory, and diasporic experiences, blending traditional landscape techniques with contemporary elements.

Her intricate, monochrome compositions fuse scenery with both personal and collective memory, creating meditative spaces through repetitive and precise mark-making. Her meticulous attention to the textures and materials of textiles, such as linen, reflects a broader exploration of space, surface tension, and perception.

She has exhibited extensively across Asia, Europe, and the U.S., with notable solo exhibitions in Berlin and Seoul, and recent group shows in London. 

In 2024, she was awarded the Student Award at the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize, one of the UK’s most prestigious open exhibitions for drawing. The award was chosen from 2,280 submissions by 1,270 candidates worldwide.

Drawing plays a central role in Hyeyeon’s practice. Her work, deeply influenced by contemporary landscape, memory, and diasporic experiences, reflects her ongoing exploration of the complexities of perception and identity.
