Featured Artist of The Week: Jenny Jiyoung Han!
"Jenny Han is originally from South Korea, studied Fashion at the University of Arts London and graduated in 2017. She worked partially as an illustrator and a private art tutor for young children in the middle of her education years. Previously, she was engaged in fine art studio works during her 20s in South Korea for three years. Now, she is living in Belgium since 2019 summertime. The complicated self from her whole engagement into identity journey through educations and experiences lead to being a multi-disciplinary visual artist.
She was intrigued by cartoon-based storybooks, making her enthusiasm to see reality as an abstract figure of platforms. She loved the dreamy lanes of focusing eyes into the philosophical world. The majority of her works contribute to linking the syntax of image makings that she tries not to use any of the previous inventions experimented by other artists.
Currently, she works with taking some whimsical abstract figures and cartoon based illustrated resources into one particular 2D format and then re-format the subjective images, remaining equivocal resemblances, and familiar symbols. Typically, her adoration of the sunflower became her loveable symbol of creation.
Every piece of her artwork has been set as a range of sunflower series that explains the personal depiction of human life story. Sunflower itself represents multiple creations that contain the whole validity of recreational meanings beyond what the eyes see in the world. All the floral associations depict sunflowers, but with every aspect of details, consciously and unconsciously using all packages her skills, both for redefining figurative and abstract languages with colour theory and expressing inner-self into the particular natural object.
At present, she is grateful and appreciative for gaining genuine connections between international artists and art lovers through her fan-based responses on her Instagram gallery. She was thrilled by getting some of her artworks featured via @yngspc and@contemporaryartsclub. Besides, she was one of the 6th and 7th edition's finalists on @prismaartprize. Thankfully, she had a chance to participate in the first edition of the group exhibition, titled "What is Art", in December 2020 at Boomer gallery. Her work has quickly drawn interest from several galleries and social media to get featured.”
