Biography
Heemin Chung investigates the material potential of digital images by translating them into the mediums of painting and sculpture. Her work interrogates how technology has shaped contemporary approaches to art and its role in society. She reimagines art historical genres, including the landscape and still life, through poetic visual metaphor, engaging with experimental techniques to explore the function of texture and volume in her work. Born in Korea, Heemin Chung lives and works in Seoul.
