Jay Chung
United States • 1986
Presentation
Jay Chung is a Korean artist, based in Dallas, whose figurative paintings explore the complex interplay of physical realities and interior states of being.
In his latest body of work, he takes as his subject the human figure, and eschewing conventional representation, seeks to present an “alternative" which expresses “our conscious and unconscious experience of being in the world."
What appears on the canvas is often a roiling blur of feeling-made-manifest—set on the ground or suspended
in space—representing dreamlike states and the imagined contents of our “psychological, societal, and imaginative" lives.
