Gallery EXIT is pleased to present Korean artist Jeong Yun Kyung’s solo exhibition ‘Stone Planet’. Always personal and sensational, Jeong’s works, as a response to her immediate surroundings, embody her own intimate emotions and experiences. Rendered in a combination of bold colours, lines, and gestures, her paintings summon up the experience of witnessing or expecting the passing through of a meteoroid over a serene landscape before one’s eyes. With this latest series of paintings, the artist aims to capture the fleeting moment, a flash of time that one experiences, and express the sensations and memories evoked by such decisive moments.
 
In Jeong’s practice, recurring natural motifs and shapes, such as feather, leaf, spiral, wave, are layered in different sections of the painting and are crucial elements that have been present and developed since the beginning of her artistic practice. Executed with care and relatively light in colour and tone, the ridged and layered parts have a quality of detailed neatness about them, evoking a feeling of tranquility. In contrast and parallel to this calmness, spontaneous brushstrokes, spray-painted lines and splashes of paint of bold and vivid colours permeate the painting surface in an unrestrained manner, symbolising such artificial elements as plastic, neon, traffic, which is loud, boisterous and exciting.

Gallery address: 3/F, 25 Hing Wo Street, Tin Wan, Aberdeen
