Young Eun Museum of Contemporary Art is presenting a solo exhibition by Minwook Jin (b. 1980), who was selected as the 12th artist of Young Eun Artist Project. The exhibition is titled “Unfolding and Deepening” and will be held from March 18 to April 23 in Exhibition hall 2.
Unlike classical Western paintings, the artist creates works utilizing the multi-perspective technique, which is characteristic of traditional Eastern arithmetic paintings, depicting landscapes and objects from multiple angles. Therefore, if you look closely at the works, you can see that the objects are drawn from different points of view, but they are closely combined to form a single picture.
One of the characteristics of Jin’s work is that she has canvases of various shapes. This originates from the folding screens he saw at his grandmother’s house as a child, and her memories of looking at them and imagining the unknown world behind them became the source of her work. She also finds inspiration for her work while taking walks. She finds various narratives in the everyday things he discovers while walking in the mountains.
Minwook Jin graduated from Ewha Womans University, Department of Oriental Painting, and received her MFA in Chinese Painting from CAFA, Beijing. She then returned to Korea and earned his Ph.D. in Oriental Painting at Ewha Womans University.
