Artist Statement
We live within an endless flow of information, emotion, and language. Within the flow, individuals interact with society and at times assimilate into it, while their temperament and identity are continuously shaped and transformed. From the perspective of an observer, I capture these passing traces and layer them on the surface.
My work moves between language and image. Words shed their narrative function and become rhythm, density, and residue. From a distance, the painting appears as an abstract landscape or pattern, yet as one moves closer, traces of words and letters begin to emerge. In this moment, the viewer also becomes another observer, entering the work through their own memories, experiences, and senses.
Through this process, I explore “New-tradition.” The surface becomes a contemporary landscape where the invisible structures of society are translated into visible traces. By reinterpreting text and traditional painting through a contemporary sensibility, my work becomes a new form of landscape painting—one that records not only visible scenery, but also the invisible flows of information, memory, and emotion today.

Artist
Jeah Hyuck, born in 1997, is a young artist who graduated with honors from Goldsmiths, University of London, a renowned art school, where he majored in Fine Art. Currently, he active in Europe and Korea. He often focuses on the theme of identity in his works, expressing the social persona of contemporary individuals and the repressed emotions within, using new materials and innovative techniques. The visual outcome, created by combining seemingly disparate materials from both Eastern and Western traditions—such as wooden doors, Hanji (Korean paper), paint, and ink—becomes a layered, graffiti-like structure, offering viewers a window into their own inner explorations. Upon graduation, he held solo exhibitions in various galleries, including in Paris, Venice, and London, gaining attention from collectors, especially for his solo shows at Saatchi Gallery and Surface Gallery in London. He is an artist who continues to be closely watched, and his future work is eagerly anticipated.
