Jina Jung

(b. 1990, South Korea)

​As an artist of the digital age, Jina Jung uniquely captures contemporary natural landscapes. She incorporate digitally interpreted elements of nature into her works to create new scenes. From the atmospheric colors, the rhythmic movements of grass, and the lightness of clouds, Jung delicately portrays non-specific imagery with fluidity.

Artist Statement

Exploring the perspective and elements of landscape in my digital works and paintings, I focus on different ways to express landscape as a contemporary artist familiar with digital screens and colors. In the series, “Landscape Elements”, each natural object can be seen as a maximization of atmospheric colors and light properties such as clouds, grass, and dawn. The perspective of showing a flat representation and space along with the subject matter is reflected in my improvisational compositions in the early stages of the painting process. Through a process of refinement, I focus on making the natural objects and landscapes as simple and flat as possible with three-dimensional forms. On the other hand, I paint with great emphasis on composition, color, and interplay of blank spaces with brushstrokes in facilitate audience interaction and immersion with my works. To create immersive spaces and scenes on canvas, I utilize fragmented and disjointed colors and strokes that flow and a blending of lines and planes that allow viewers to sectionally follow the landscape. Colors that evoke a certain period, brushstrokes that reflect like water, and the blank spaces that mingle amidst the colors are all characteristics of my paintings. The curves and lengths of the lines in the paintings composed through the movements of my wrists and arms are as simple as possible. These composition techniques allow viewers to experience the movements and properties of natural objects without specificity and represent my desire to stay between abstract and concrete landscapes. I think the rationale for the hints and the motivation behind these scenes derive from my experience with this process. I hope that this painterly experiment—through diversification of the landscape interpretations—will aid viewers in their own interpretations of “landscape elements.”
