Kyung Jeon -Zeichnungen
Kyung Jeon, Anchor, 2004 - The American Kyung Jeon of Korean descent has chosen a completely different approach. Her somewhat brazen seeming gouache drawings are of a rather more personal nature.
Kyung Jeon, Follow Her, 2004 - Formally influenced by the Japanese pop culture, they refer to older Asian traditions by refraining from making full use the available space. The obvious restriction on what is essential takes on a rather threatening approach. While from a distance the miniature depictions at first seem quaint, they force the observer to take a closer look which then leads to a private universe full of nightmarish absurdities as well as obsessions, frequently with an abstruse erotic component.
Kyung Jeon, Walking with Heads, 2004 - However, it is not the artist's intention to follow the fashionable trend of celebrating an aberrant sexuality. On the contrary, her work is always concerned with rather intimate topics replete with anxiety and solitude. Kyung's art is marked by the search for identity in a multi-cultural world dominated by whites.
